From April 14 to 15, 2026, Moscow will host the largest cryptocurrency and Web3 event in the CIS region — the “2026 Blockchain Forum.” Over the years, this forum has become a key industry platform, bringing together leaders in digital assets, banks, investment funds, and tech companies to shape the future of the market.
Blockchain Forum is more than just a conference; it is a foundational hub for the entire ecosystem. Here, industry players will engage in strategic discussions, forge partnerships, and launch critical projects that could define the future of the digital asset industry.
The 2026 event is expected to gather over 20,000 attendees from more than 100 countries, 250 exhibiting companies, and over 200 prominent speakers, many of whom will be speaking in Russia for the first time.
Such a large-scale gathering creates a rare convergence of expertise, capital, and technological innovation on a single platform.
Participants will include investors, venture capital funds, banks, crypto exchanges, Web3 startups, and infrastructure providers, enabling direct dialogue among developers, capital providers, and institutional investors.
The agenda will feature leaders from major crypto platforms, investment executives, digital asset regulators, and tech innovators. Many of these speakers rarely appear publicly in the region, making Blockchain Forum a valuable opportunity for direct engagement and first-hand insights.
The exhibition area will showcase solutions, new products, and emerging technologies from 250 top crypto companies. Attendees can learn industry trends from the stage and also explore real-world applications—ranging from product launches to direct interactions with founders and teams.
In addition to the main agenda, the conference will host a dedicated “AI Future Forum,” focusing on the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology. The convergence of AI and Web3 is widely regarded as a key direction for digital economy development in the coming years.
Blockchain Forum is recognized as an excellent venue for building strategic relationships. Beyond the main stage, business negotiations and investment discussions are actively underway, often leading to long-term partnerships. The carefully designed program allows participants to gain business opportunities and deep insights in just two days—opportunities that might otherwise take months of scattered communication to achieve.
The official after-party will feature a performance by Russia’s renowned artist L’One. His live show will bring the forum to a memorable close, allowing attendees to enjoy an unforgettable night of entertainment and high-level networking.
This after-party extends the business agenda into a more relaxed, informal setting, providing another valuable opportunity to build meaningful relationships.
The “2026 Blockchain Forum” combines strategic dialogue, technological innovation, and capital convergence, creating a unique space for making key decisions and shaping the future of the market.
