The 17th edition of Blockchain Life returns to Dubai on December 1-2, 2026, bringing together 15,000+ attendees from 130 countries across Web3, crypto, mining and — for the first time — the AI Future Forum. Two days that gather founders, funds, exchanges, miners and regulators under one roof, wrapped in a full week of 100+ side events from November 27 to December 6.
Blockchain Life has been running since 2017 and is one of the largest regularly scheduled crypto gatherings anywhere in the world. The 2026 edition is anchored around four tracks — Trading, Mining, Blockchain and Finance — with a dedicated Investments & Institutional stage and a Web3 consumer track covering wallets, identity, gaming and SocialFi. New this year: the AI Future Forum runs alongside the main programme, included with every ticket. 200+ speakers take the Space, MEXC and Cifra stages; the expo hosts 200+ booths from the biggest exchanges, mining manufacturers and infrastructure providers. Startup Pitch selects finalists who pitch directly to funds and investors on stage. Dubai remains the world's most business-friendly crypto jurisdiction: near-zero personal and business taxes, a mature regulator (VARA/ADGM) and a dense community of funds, exchanges and infrastructure companies already headquartered in the emirate.
