Conf3rence 2026 takes place on 15–16 September at Kokerei Hansa in Dortmund, bringing together blockchain, cryptocurrency, NFT, AI, and metaverse communities for two days of talks and programming from leading voices in emerging technology.
In 2026, the event expands its scope through a partnership with FATT (Festival of Arts, Tech & Taste), Next Level, and #diwodo, taking over the industrial grounds of Kokerei Hansa. The collaboration shifts the format beyond a standard conference: daytime programming centers on strategic conversations with top European decision-makers in blockchain and emerging tech, while evenings transition into a festival setting shared across all four events.
The venue itself—a former coking plant with a distinctive industrial character—provides the backdrop for what organizers describe as a convergence of business and culture.
