Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, will host the Global Blockchain Show on June 29 and 30, 2026. The event is produced by VAP Group with support from The Times of Blockchain and aims to highlight blockchain innovation, investment, and collaboration among industry leaders in both blockchain and Web3. The Abu Dhabi edition’s December 2025 success has generated momentum for the Riyadh launch.
Attendees can expect more than 100 speakers, over 10,000 attendees, and 100 exhibitors highlighting blockchain innovators and thought leaders shaping the future of the technology. Featured speakers include Abeer Alhumaimeedy, Associate Professor at King Saud University and Director of Web3 and Blockchain Lab at King Saud University. The conference is co-located with the Global AI Show and Global Games Show, with a “One Ticket; Three Shows” option granting access to all three events. Vishal Parmar, Founder and CEO of VAP Group, describes the event as a global intersection of vision, capital, and innovation for Web3, with the speaker lineup reflecting the caliber of thinking expected to advance the digital-asset ecosystem.
Riyadh is the fastest-growing hub in the region, leading the Kingdom with 2,463 new blockchain registrations last quarter. The organizers emphasize a tightly curated C-suite audience and a VC matchmaking program designed to connect projects with sovereign wealth funds actively seeking opportunities for the Vision 2030 digital backbone.
