Dutch Blockchain Week, one of Europe’s most prominent blockchain ecosystem initiatives, and AIBC, a global summit bridging gaming and emerging tech, have confirmed a new partnership ahead of this year’s Amsterdam gathering.
Taking place from June 22 to 28, 2026, Dutch Blockchain Week will bring together leading voices in blockchain, crypto, payments and digital assets, with its flagship summit hosted at the Johan Cruijff ArenA on June 24 and 25. The week-long programme will feature more than 40 side events across Amsterdam, connecting industry players through a mix of networking, thought leadership, and curated business opportunities.
In a joint statement, Dutch Blockchain Week and AIBC said they will support each other through coordinated promotion, content collaboration and enhanced event visibility across both brands’ global networks. The partnership will also focus on fostering stronger connections between European and international stakeholders within the blockchain and emerging tech ecosystem.
This year’s edition signals a shift towards a more mature and institutional-focused industry conversation. With a clear emphasis on real adoption, compliance and infrastructure, the event will highlight how Europe’s digital asset ecosystem is evolving under regulatory frameworks such as MiCA.
Confirmed speakers include Charlie Lee, founder of Litecoin and Director of the Litecoin Foundation, alongside senior figures from major industry players such as Kraken, Bitwise, OKX, Bullish, Visa and Chainlink. The organisations said the stakeholders’ participation reflects the growing convergence between traditional finance and digital asset innovation.
Beyond the main summit, attendees can explore a city-wide programme designed to extend conversations beyond the conference floor. From investor dinners and policy roundtables to technical workshops and community meetups, Dutch Blockchain Week is positioning itself as a holistic ecosystem experience.
A dedicated networking app, deal floor and executive meeting spaces will further support structured engagement between attendees, ensuring meaningful business connections are at the forefront of the event.
Thousands of delegates are expected to attend throughout the week, making it a key meeting point for exchanges, financial institutions, regulators, infrastructure providers and innovators shaping the future of digital finance in Europe.
AIBC bridges the world of tech and gaming, convening senior executives, investors, policymakers and leading companies in the blockchain, crypto, and emerging tech space. Its events are designed to provide structured opportunities for networking, partnership building and policy-facing discussion.
Focused on digital innovation, the conference spans industries such as fintech, AI, and data innovation. The aim is simple: give delegates and guests a setting where introductions feel natural and conversations have room to develop beyond just a conference floor.
Dutch Blockchain Week is a leading annual initiative uniting the Netherlands’ blockchain ecosystem with international partners. Bringing together companies, institutions and policymakers, the event focuses on real-world applications of blockchain technology and the continued growth of Europe’s regulated digital asset market.
Centred around its flagship summit in Amsterdam and supported by a diverse programme of side events, Dutch Blockchain Week provides a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing and business development across the global crypto and blockchain landscape.
