TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will take place in San Francisco at Moscone West from October 13 to October 15. The event expects to host over 10,000 technology leaders. Registration is currently open, with a discount of 50 percent available for a second pass when purchased alongside a primary ticket.
A dedicated industry stage session will feature executives from Ambrosia Energy and Bloom Energy, including Bill Thayer and Ben Longmier. The discussion will focus on the physical infrastructure required to scale artificial intelligence, such as power generation, grid connections, data centers, and cooling systems.
The panel aims to analyze how the rapid growth of compute demand creates new business categories and market constraints. Speakers will address which infrastructure shortages are temporary and which may lead to long-term investment opportunities for founders and investors looking beyond software applications.
Attendees can save up to $100 on registration if they book before the event begins on October 13 at 8 a.m. PT. The conference serves as a platform for exploring the physical systems that underpin the next phase of AI growth and identifying emerging markets within the energy and hardware sectors.
