There's hardly any time left. You have less than 24 hours left to apply to host a sub-event ( Side Event ) during the period of TechCrunch Founder Summit 2026. The application deadline is tonight at midnight, PT.

You can establish connections with Boston's entrepreneurial ecosystem from November 1st to 7th by hosting your own branch event. Bring along your community, initiate an influential discussion, drive the topic forward, and create an unforgettable experience.

Apply to host a branch event now.

Make your brand the focus of technology.

Founder Summit brings founders, investors, partners, and technology leaders to Boston. The branch events provide you with another way to connect with this community – before, during, and after the conference.

You can organize a meet-and-greet, gather technology leaders for a cocktail party, host a roundtable discussion or workshop, and create an experience that your community will remember. It's up to you to plan the event.

Approved branch activities will:

• Reach the Founder Summit community and connect your audience with founders, investors, partners, and innovators from across the entire ecosystem.
• By holding events over a wider period of time within the Founder Summit week, extend your influence beyond the venue itself.
• By being displayed on the official branch event pages, agendas, mobile applications, participants' emails, TechCrunch articles, and social media channels, additional exposure is obtained from TechCrunch.
• Provide your community with more reasons to participate in Founder Summit, and you can also share ticket discounts with your network.

Applying does not guarantee that your event will be accepted, or that it will be held as an official branch event of TechCrunch Founder Summit.

All applications will be reviewed by the TechCrunch event team. Your event must be approved before it can be included in the official branch event program. All logistical arrangements and expenses shall be borne by you personally.

Therefore, if you wish to expand the influence of your brand, apply now.

Please apply before the end of today.

Applications will close at midnight today, PT. Don’t miss the opportunity to bring your brand to the forefront at one of this year’s most anticipated founder events, where over 1,000 technology leaders will gather in Boston. Apply now.

If you don't want to host a sub-venue event but still want to participate in Founder Summit, you can also purchase tickets today.
