If you’ve purchased a ticket for either of these events, or have sponsored one of these events, you will be contacted via email about your cancellation options. If you have any other questions or if you can’t find that email, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at events@techcrunch.com.
At present, TechCrunch is proceeding as planned with the rest of current 2020 event schedule.
For Disrupt SF 2020, we’ve announced the addition of three virtual passes, the Disrupt Digital Pass, Disrupt Digital Pro Pass and the Disrupt Digital Startup Alley Package. Digital Pass holders will have access to the Disrupt Stage live stream, as well as access to the Disrupt Stage content via video on demand. You can sign up for the free Disrupt Digital Pass now. Disrupt Digital Pro Pass holders will have access to all the programming on the four primary stages and lots of real time networking with fellow attendees, founders in Startup Alley, interactive Q&A sessions, and our all important exhibitors and partners. You can register for the pro pass now. The Disrupt Digital Startup Alley Package will provide early stage founders access to all the digital content plus opportunities to do lead generation for new customers, get access to members of the global press, get exposure to investors, participate in several exclusive content webinars and pitch practice sessions and more. You can register for a Digital Startup Alley exhibitor package now.
The new Digital Passes are a complement to the existing Disrupt SF conference. The Moscone Center is booked for September 14-16, startups interested in Startup Battlefield are applying each day, and we’re well underway in programming out the in-person show, with announcements about speakers coming soon! But for folks who can’t make it out to San Francisco, these digital passes will provide unprecedented and interactive access to the show online.
We continue to monitor local, state and federal agencies for guidance on how to respond to the Coronavirus (COVID-19), and we will make further adjustments to the event schedule as warranted. TechCrunch places the health and safety of our event attendees and employees above all else. In the event that we cancel, postpone or modify any further upcoming events, we will immediately notify all registered participants by email as well as post a notice on this page, which we will update as events warrant.
Anyone who has a ticket, is a sponsor, or otherwise engaged with a TechCrunch event may contact us directly with concerns or questions at events@techcrunch.com.
