Dubai's big crypto forum, now with an AI track.
Blockchain Life gathers traders, miners, funds and founders at Dubai's Festival Arena, with the new AI Future track making its debut.
Blockchain Life has run since 2017 and is one of the largest crypto forums in the Gulf. The 2026 edition is at Festival Arena in Dubai Festival City, with the organizers expecting more than 15,000 attendees from 130 countries, over 200 speakers and more than 200 expo booths across three stages.
The forum leans towards the business of crypto: trading, mining, market making and fundraising. New this year is AI Future, a dedicated track on the next generation of AI. Around the two forum days sits a week of more than 100 satellite events, in the middle of Dubai's busiest events season.
