UN Blockchain Week 2026 takes place in New York City from September 10–19, 2026, bringing together blockchain and Web3 stakeholders during one of the city’s most prominent international gatherings. The 10-day event is scheduled to coincide with the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) and New York Fashion Week (NYFW), drawing a cross-sector audience of policymakers, technologists, and industry professionals.
The event spans a full week and a half, positioning itself as a focal point for blockchain-related dialogue at a moment when global leaders and media are concentrated in New York. The overlap with UNGA creates a natural backdrop for discussions at the intersection of blockchain technology and international policy, while the concurrent NYFW adds a consumer and culture dimension to the program.
The UN Blockchain Week Conference on September 16-17 is the official two-day program within UN Blockchain Week, bringing together senior policymakers, institutional leaders, and builders for high-level discussions on Bitcoin, AI, Energy, Space, and blockchain adoption.
Plus the exclusive Washington Elite Investment Summit & Gala on September 18th in Times Square.
Join 1,000+ visionaries for 100+ events, panels, workshops, and networking opportunities exploring blockchain, sustainability, policy, and innovation.
