Next Block Expo (NBX), recognized as Europe”s premier Blockchain Festival, is gearing up for its highly anticipated return on March 24-25, 2026. This sixth edition promises to be the largest yet, relocating to a more spacious venue in Warsaw. Organizers expect to attract over 5,000 attendees, alongside more than 200 esteemed speakers and 80 prominent Web3 brands and projects.
As the blockchain landscape continues to change, NBX is emerging as a pivotal center in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) for founders, developers, investors, and innovators. The event”s agenda features a broader array of stages, including keynote speeches, panel discussions, and hands-on workshops, covering a comprehensive range of topics from decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world assets (RWA) to gaming, the metaverse, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), artificial intelligence (AI), infrastructure, Web3 strategies, trading, investment, startups, legal matters, and industry trends.
This year, the program will incorporate new thematic focuses such as AI, traditional finance (TradFi), and cybersecurity, emphasizing not just emerging trends and innovations but also the accompanying risks and challenges within the Web3 ecosystem.
At the heart of the Next Block Expo is the commitment to networking. The event will introduce an innovative NBX app, facilitating seamless communication, matchmaking, and scheduling for one-on-one meetings, thereby enhancing the attendee experience.
Moreover, NBX 2026 will once more serve as a marquee event during Polish Blockchain Week. This initiative aims to unite thousands of enthusiasts across various venues and activities, showcasing Poland”s growing stature as a Web3 talent hub. The festival will highlight the nation”s contributions to global blockchain innovation while promoting its skilled developers, startups, and emerging projects to an international audience.
