TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 unveils roundtable and AI infrastructure agenda
TechCrunch has published the interactive roundtable lineup for Disrupt 2026, taking place October 13–15 at Moscone West in San Francisco, where the organizer expects 10,000+ founders, investors, operators and tech leaders (it is promoting a $100 pass discount and 50% off a second pass). Roundtable topics include data challenges for physical AI, AI's effect on enterprise software, specialty post-training data, and moving agentic AI from pilot to trusted production. A separate Smart Systems Stage session features Ambrosia Energy CEO Ben Longmier and Bloom Energy SVP and Head of Datacenter Solutions Bill Thayer on where power, grid, data center and cooling constraints are creating AI infrastructure opportunities.
The agenda is a useful signal of where the industry's attention sits today: physical AI, agentic deployment and the power constraints behind compute.
