About the Event
Blockchain Life 2026 marks the 17th edition of one of the world's largest international forums dedicated to Web3, cryptocurrencies, mining and, for the first time, artificial intelligence. Established in 2017, the forum returns to Festival Arena in Dubai Festival City on December 1-2, bringing together more than 15,000 attendees from over 130 countries. Crypto whales, project founders, Tier 1 fund representatives, top exchange executives, legendary traders and policymakers converge in one venue, making it one of the most concentrated gatherings of decision-makers the global crypto market sees all year.
The two-day program runs across three stages: the Space Stage, the MEXC Stage and the brand new AI Future Stage, featuring 200+ high-profile speakers sharing market forecasts, trading strategies for 2026-2027, insights on global crypto regulation and the latest solutions in blockchain development. The expansive exhibition floor hosts 200+ sponsors and booths from leading exchanges, mining companies, funds and Web3 projects, alongside startup competitions that put emerging teams in front of investors. Whether you are a developer looking for employers, a founder searching for partners and clients, or an investor scouting the next wave of opportunities, the forum is built around high-value networking.
This year's standout addition is AI Future Forum, a co-located event with its own dedicated stage and programming focused on practical applications of artificial intelligence, advances in robotics, and the growing convergence of AI with crypto and business. AI Future Forum tickets include full access to Blockchain Life 2026. Beyond the main venue, a full week of 100+ side events runs from November 27 to December 6, drawing an additional 30,000+ participants, with the week also coinciding with the Formula 1 Grand Prix Final in the UAE. The forum wraps up with its legendary Official Afterparty on December 2 at one of Dubai's top clubs, where 1,300+ VIP attendees and speakers close out one of the biggest tech and business weeks of 2026.
