TechCrunch Disrupt 2026: Navigating the AI-Native Business Shift
When AI models become commoditized, the traditional playbook for selling, securing, and scaling startups evaporates. From October 13–15 at San Francisco’s Moscone Center, TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will host industry leaders to dissect the architectural security gaps and emerging job categories defining this new, high-speed enterprise landscape.

Beyond security, the event highlights the evolution of visual AI into real-time physical reasoning. Decart CEO Dean Leitersdorf and Luma AI CEO Amit Jain are set to examine the transition from simple generation to genuine machine intelligence. Meanwhile, Clay CEO Kareem Amin will explore the rise of the 'GTM engineer,' a role that emerged from scratch in the last two years to become a cornerstone of modern tech growth. Attendees have until the current pricing window closes to secure tickets for the event, which gathers over 10,000 founders, investors, and engineers to define the next wave of AI-native operations.
