Participants may organize workshops, networking mixers, or fireside chats to capture the momentum surrounding the primary summit. TechCrunch provides official support for approved events, including listings on the summit agenda, mobile app integration, and promotion within attendee communications. This collaborative approach allows hosts to leverage the conference’s reach while maintaining autonomy over their specific event logistics.

Hosting Opportunities Open for TechCrunch Founder Summit Week
With over 1,100 startup founders and investors expected to descend upon Boston for the Founder Summit on November 4, 2026, local organizers are opening applications for independent side events. These gatherings, scheduled between November 1 and November 7, offer brands a direct line to the conference's high-profile attendee base.

Applicants must ensure their events are held in person within the Boston area. While there is no listing fee, organizers are responsible for all event-specific costs and arrangements. Events scheduled for November 4 must take place after 5 p.m. ET to avoid direct conflict with the main summit programming. All gatherings must comply with age restrictions, requiring attendees to be at least 18 years old, or 21 if alcohol is served.
