Dubai to Host 16th Global Blockchain Congress Web3 Event

The Global Blockchain Congress (GBC), hosted by Agora Group, returns to Dubai for its 16th edition, endorsing its position as one of the world’s most exclusive, investment-focused blockchain and digital asset events. Taking place on March 26th and 27th, 2026, the GBC will bring together leading investors, visionary founders, and senior industry decision-makers for two days of high-impact discussions, deal-making, and curated one-on-one meetings.

Building on the success of its previous editions in Dubai, London, Singapore, and Vietnam, the Global Blockchain Congress continues to deliver unmatched return on investment by connecting pre-qualified Web3 projects with top-tier institutional investors in a closed-door, invitation-only environment.

Dubai: The Natural Home of Web3 Innovation

Dubai and the UAE continue to solidify their status as a global hub for blockchain and digital assets. With progressive regulation, strong government backing, and landmark initiatives such as the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the UAE provides an ideal environment for responsible innovation and institutional adoption.
