CONF3RENCE 2026: The Era of Real-World Adoption

CONF3RENCE 2026 is positioned as Europe's largest crypto and Web3 gathering, taking place at the historic Kokerei Hansa industrial site in Dortmund, Germany on September 15-16, 2026. The event brings together Europe's top decision-makers across Web3, Finance, AI, SaaS, and Emerging Tech. For 2026, the format is split across two distinct days: Day 1 is dedicated exclusively to B2B, focusing on enterprises, institutions, and investors, with curated stages and high-level meetings designed to foster partnerships, while Day 2 is focused on retail attendees, new users, creators, and community programming. The event also expands beyond a traditional conference format, partnering with FATT (Festival of Arts, Tech & Taste), Next Level, and Digital Woche Dortmund to turn the gathering into a broader digital festival experience.

The target audience spans C-level executives, institutional investors, blockchain founders, fintech innovators, regulators, and Web3 builders, with past editions noting that the majority of attendees hold C-level positions. Attendees should expect to engage with speakers from major banks, exchanges, and tech firms covering topics like tokenization, digital assets, AI integration, and blockchain infrastructure. With a large speaker roster, numerous panels, and over a hundred sponsors and partners, it serves as a key networking hub for anyone looking to bridge traditional finance and industry with the frontier of decentralized and emerging technologies in the DACH and broader European region.
