Blockchain Life 2026

Blockchain Life 2026 returns to Dubai for its 17th edition on 1–2 December 2026 at Festival Arena, Dubai Festival City. Two days, 15,000+ attendees from 130+ countries, 200+ speakers and 200+ expo booths across Web3, mining and crypto — plus the AI Future Forum, new for this edition.

What to expect

Keynotes and panels on the Space Stage and the MEXC Stage, a dedicated AI Future Stage, a 200-booth expo floor, a startup pitch competition and the outdoor networking areas the forum is known for. The speaker line-up runs through the industry's biggest names — Paolo Ardoino (Tether), Sergey Nazarov (Chainlink), Tim Draper and Justin Sun among them.

Why Dubai

Dubai is where the crypto industry closes its year: VARA-regulated, visa-easy and full of funds, exchanges and mining operators. Blockchain Life anchors that week, and the side-event calendar around it runs from breakfast roundtables to yacht parties.

Tickets

Standard $189 early bird / $349 regular, Business $329 / $729, VIP $999 / $1,999. Business and VIP include lunch on both days and a year of session recordings; VIP adds private registration, the VIP lounge and the official afterparty on 2 December.

Sponsorship

The forum is open for sponsors — title, strategic and exclusive tiers, expo booths from startup size up to 60 m², and branding packages covering the afterparty, VIP lounge, registration, coffee and WiFi. Sponsorship deck available.
