Blockchain Life 2026

Blockchain Life 2026 holds its 17th edition in Dubai on 1 and 2 December, at Festival Arena in Dubai Festival City.

Organisers expect more than 15,000 attendees from over 130 countries, with 200-plus speakers and a similar number of exhibiting companies across multiple stages. That scale places it among the largest crypto events of the year and the largest in the Gulf.

Blockchain Life has a distinct character: heavier on mining, trading and market infrastructure than on protocol research, with a substantial contingent from Eastern Europe, Central Asia and the Gulf. For anyone tracking where mining capacity and OTC flow actually sit, the exhibition floor is more informative than the stages.

Mining economics are also the backdrop to one of the year’s larger pivots, covered in our piece on the Crusoe valuation, where a flared-gas Bitcoin miner became AI infrastructure.
