  "account": "The last opportunity to apply for hosting a Side Event at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 opens tonight at 11:59 p.m. PT. Organizations are encouraged to create engaging gatherings that attract attendees, investors, customers, partners, and decision-makers. These Side Events should foster meaningful conversations and strengthen relationships with relevant stakeholders. Approved Side Events can be promoted across various TechCrunch channels, including the Side Events page, agenda, mobile app, newsletters, articles, and social media. By applying, businesses can offer attendees 25% off Disrupt tickets, turning the event into a comprehensive experience rather than an isolated gathering. The official Side Events lineup will be determined by September 11, so all applications must be submitted before midnight. While participation in Disrupt is not mandatory to reap its benefits, attendees are encouraged to leverage the week to network with potential customers, partners, investors, and talent. Regular ticket prices will cease on September 25, so securing a ticket early can help participants stay informed about upcoming events and opportunities.",
