The Future of Money, Governance, and the Law 2026 is a world-class event where innovation meets policy. Hosted by the Government Blockchain Association (GBA), it seeks to shape how AI, blockchain, and quantum computing are changing money, public institutions, and the rule of law.
This year, the summit runs across two cities, Washington, DC and New York, from September 29 to October 2, bringing together leading minds from government, finance, technology, and regulation, on an even larger scale than ever before. Expected participants include representatives from the UN, World Bank, SEC, and the U.S. Treasury, alongside leading ecosystems such as Cardano, Circle and Ripple.
The Washington, DC part of the series runs over two days on Capitol Hill, where the headline speakers take the stage and the Annual Achievement Awards are presented.
In the evening, the program builds to a gala at the historic Whittemore House, where Presidents have walked the halls. Guests step into Cryptopoly, a GBA original that combines Monopoly with cryptocurrency, blockchain, and live networking. Open to the public with ticketed admission.
As an additional option: On Friday, October 2, the series moves to the United Nations Headquarters in New York. This New York Summit is free of charge and open to the public. Seating is limited, so reserve your seat early on the event website: https://www.gbaglobal.org/FoMGL
