Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will host the Global Blockchain Show on June 29 and 30, 2026. The show will bring together some of the world’s most influential and widely recognized voices shaping blockchain, Web3, and the global digital assets ecosystem.

The show created numerous record-setting partnerships and established historic milestones for collaborative innovation within the Web3 community.
Attendees can expect more than 100 speakers, over 10,000 attendees, and 100 exhibitors highlighting blockchain innovators and thought leaders, and thus have an opportunity to shape the future of blockchain technology.

Program Highlights and Principal Topics Covered at Conference
- Riyadh is the fastest-growing hub in the region, leading the Kingdom with 2,463 new blockchain registrations last quarter alone. We facilitate the direct introductions you need to secure contracts with the government-backed initiatives currently funding the Vision 2030 digital backbone.
- A Concentrated C-Suite Audience: Our floor is strictly curated for business, with 46% of our 10,000+ attendees serving as founders and C-level executives. This ensures you spend your time in Riyadh speaking directly to the decision-makers who control the budget
- Our VC Matchmaking program bridges the gap between your project and the sovereign wealth funds actively scouting for the “utility-era” platforms. This is where you meet the capital required to dominate the Middle Eastern market.
- Cross-Industry Synergy via Co-Location: The Global Blockchain Show is co-located with the Global AI Show and Global Games Show at the same venue. The “One Ticket; Three Shows” option will provide access to all three conferences and encourage collaboration between the three respective sectors of blockchain, AI, and gaming.
“This event is more than a conference; it’s the global intersection of vision, capital, and innovation for Web3. Our speaker lineup reflects the calibre of thinking that will propel the digital-asset ecosystem forward,” said Vishal Parmar, Founder and CEO, VAP Group
