Mark your calendars for December 10th and 11th. The Global Blockchain Show is returning, this time taking over Abu Dhabi’s futuristic Space42 Arena.
The event is expected to draw a serious crowd of Web3’s brightest minds—everyone from developers and investors to the policymakers who are writing the new rules. They’re all coming together for one reason and that is to figure out just how thoroughly decentralized technology is going to reshape our digital world.
The upcoming conference has earned its reputation as a top-tier event for blockchain innovation. Hosting it in Abu Dhabi, with support from the government’s own Convention & Exhibition Bureau and a partnership with Times of Blockchain. The UAE is serious about solidifying its status as a global hub for the industry.
The two day program is packed with discussions, technical workshops, and networking events. Organizers say the goal is ambitious but simple. They want to get the key players, policymakers, startups, and investors in the same room.
A meeting of Web3’s brightest minds
The speaker list is stacked. The lineup features some of the heaviest hitters in the venture and blockchain space:
- Yat Siu, the co-founder of Animoca Brands, is basically synonymous with blockchain gaming and the open metaverse.
- Sergej Kunz, the co-founder of 1inch Network, whose work has made decentralized trading far more efficient.
- Andy Tang, a top partner at Draper Dragon, has backed over 15 “unicorn” companies.
- Reeve Collins, the co-founder of Tether, who helped lead the stablecoin concept.
Vishal Parmar, the Founder and CEO of VAP Group, framed the event as more than just a tech conference. “This year’s event isn’t just about technology,” he said. “It’s about the partnerships and ideas that turn innovation into real impact.”
A landmark gathering in the heart of the UAE
With thousands expected to fly in, the whole event is shaping up to be a landmark gathering. Set against the Abu Dhabi skyline, it’s as much a showcase for the UAE’s digital ambitions as it is for the tech itself.
