Global convergence of leading technology

This November 02-05 AIBC World prepares to welcome more than 30,000 frontier tech delegates for what promises to be one of Europe’s most influential technology gatherings. In a world being rapidly reshaped by digital transformation, AIBC World will leave no stone unturned in transforming the Eternal City into a global meeting point for the innovators, investors and visionaries building tomorrow’s digital economy.

Launched in 2018 as the Malta Blockchain Summit, AIBC has evolved into a worldwide platform at the intersection of crypto, blockchain, Web3, artificial intelligence, digital innovation and emerging regulatory frameworks. What began on a small island has grown into a truly international hub where technologies converge, ideas collide and cross-industry collaboration thrives. 

With 1,000 exhibitors, 300 speakers and 30,000 delegates, AIBC World is set to unite the brightest minds, boldest builders and most influential decision-makers under one roof, creating a powerhouse environment for discovery, dialogue and game-changing partnerships.

A rising capital for innovation 

Set against a backdrop of accelerating innovation and rising investment, the Italian capital provides the ideal stage for AIBC World to operate as a truly cross-sector platform for frontier technology and gaming. As Italy emerges as Europe’s fastest-growing country for venture capital investment, AIBC World leverages this momentum to bring together the ecosystems driving crypto, blockchain, Web3, AI and next-generation gaming under one roof.

What makes AIBC World in Rome truly distinctive is its ability to bridge industries that rarely intersect at this scale, converging in a single environment designed for meaningful collaboration and commercial outcomes. Combined with Rome’s growing pool of talent, capital and institutional support, the event positions itself as a launchpad for innovation, partnerships and growth, firmly placing AIBC World, and the Eternal City, at the forefront of Europe’s emerging tech and gaming conversation.

Purpose-built pavilion

AIBC World will take place at Fiera Roma, one of Europe’s largest and most advanced exhibition centres. The venue boasts 10 state-of-the-art pavilions, offering 150,000 square metres of indoor exhibition space alongside 40,000 square metres outdoors. Building on the momentum of the 2025 edition, AIBC World 2026 will introduce an expanded pavilion dedicated entirely to crypto, AI, blockchain, Web3, cutting-edge technologies, disruptive innovators and next-generation solution providers redefining the global tech landscape. The result is a purpose-built environment designed to bring frontier technologies together in one cohesive, high-impact setting.

Seamlessly connected via Rome’s two main airports, Fiumicino and Ciampino, and just minutes from the city centre by train or taxi, Fiera Roma offers unmatched accessibility and scale. Together, the venue and the expanded pavilion will provide the ideal stage for frontier technologies to shine, collaborate and shape the future.
