Global Blockchain Events
NFT Paris Conference
Paris, France, 05 - 06 February
With previous editions spanning hundreds of speakers, side events, and 21,000 attendees, NFT Paris is considered the largest web3 event. Despite my name, it hosts events around Generative AI, Crypto currency, Gaming, DEFI, and of course web3, with lots more available.
Hosting at La Grande Halle, now the vibrant home of NFT, RWA, Ordinals and XYZ Paris. Most parties, and side events are all hosted there, space for all!
Cayman Crypto Week
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, 9 - 13 February
A smaller event than other usual blockchain/crypto conventions, where over 5 days, sessions with industry leaders, fund managers, investors, entrepreneurs, and pioneers, deliver an experience that blends them with, curated side events, and offers unmatched networking, all set against the backdrop of the Caribbean, in a calmer, more tranquil area, enjoying this island off the coast of North America.
If you need a getaway vacay, but have FOMO from events, this might just be for you!
Consensus Hong Kong 2026: Crypto Conference & Web3 Summit
Hong Kong, 10 - 12 February
As seen above, Consensus returns to Hong Kong, after a sold-out debut, becoming Asia's leading Web3 conference, strengthening the bridge between the East and West to drive innovation in the APAC region and beyond. Built on CoinDesk's foundation of independent journalism, Consensus has brought together influential voices across digital finance and emerging technologies such as blockchain and AI since 2015.
As crypto's Gateway to Asia, this gathering convenes global leaders for deal-making and accelerated business growth, offering unparalleled opportunities in one of the world's most rapidly scaling markets for crypto adoption.
Africa Tech Summit
Nairobi, Kenya, 11 - 12 February
Switching over to an area that doesn’t get much attention in terms of emerging technologies, we have an African event, with a country leader within the continent - Kenya. This tech summit connects leaders from the African ecosystem and international players under one roof. Network with key stakeholders including tech corporates, mobile operators, fintechs, DeFi & crypto ventures, investors, leading start-ups, regulators and industry stakeholders driving business and investment forward.
Although it is unlikely many of us will be travelling or be in Kenya for this event, ATB believes in showcasing blockchain and its associates technologies being used in all areas of the world, including through summits and events.
