CONF3RENCE 2026 will take place on September 15 and 16, 2026, at Kokerei Hansa in Dortmund, Germany. The technology conference connects emerging digital technologies with established industries, bringing together corporate executives, technology companies, financial institutions, founders and investors. Its core subject areas include blockchain, Web3, digital assets, artificial intelligence, tokenisation, decentralized technologies and immersive applications such as AR, VR and the metaverse. The 2026 edition is set to feature more than 200 speakers and over 150 partners, with a strong concentration of C-level decision-makers from technology, finance and enterprise organisations.
The event is designed for technology executives, blockchain companies, financial institutions, digital-asset specialists, AI developers, startups, investors and businesses exploring how emerging technologies can be integrated into established commercial models. Speakers and participating organisations represent areas such as banking, tokenisation, crypto infrastructure, blockchain networks, enterprise AI and decentralized applications. This mix allows the conference to examine not only new technologies themselves but also questions around adoption, business models and their use within conventional sectors.
CONF3RENCE 2026 expands beyond a conventional conference format through its collaboration with FATT – Festival of Arts, Tech & Taste, Next Level and #diwodo at the industrial Kokerei Hansa venue. Conference discussions, panels and professional networking are combined with a wider technology-festival environment intended to connect digital innovation with real-world adoption. The historic industrial setting reinforces the event’s central concept of bringing emerging technologies and the traditional economy together, while providing a meeting point for companies developing the next generation of digital products, financial infrastructure and AI-driven services.
