Dutch Blockchain Week (DBW) takes place from June 22–28, 2026, across Amsterdam, with the main summit hosted on June 24–25 at the Johan Cruijff ArenA.

The event is designed as a decentralized, multi-layered ecosystem, extending beyond a single venue into a full week of conferences, networking, side events, and curated experiences across the city.

Core Program & Summit

At the center of Dutch Blockchain Week is the DBW Summit, a two-day flagship conference held at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. The summit serves as the primary stage for industry leaders, bringing together exchanges, banks, regulators, funds, corporates, and Web3 pioneers.

The program features keynote sessions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities focused on digital assets, compliance, tokenization, market infrastructure, and the next phase of blockchain adoption. The summit is designed for institutions, founders, policymakers, and professionals shaping the future of Web3.

In addition to the main stage, the summit integrates several key experiences and moments across the two days:

  • The Dutch Blockchain Awards 2026, recognizing leading projects and contributors within the ecosystem
  • A dedicated Digital Asset & Investor Event, connecting institutional players and capital allocators
  • The official afterparty, along with curated networking formats throughout the summit

Ecosystem & Side Events

Dutch Blockchain Week extends far beyond the main summit, positioning itself as a city-wide Web3 ecosystem experience.

Throughout the week, the program includes 40+ side events hosted in and around Amsterdam, ranging from:

  • Private networking dinners and VIP gatherings
  • Industry meetups and community events
  • Boat events and social experiences
  • Sports activities such as padel, golf, and running sessions

These side events are organized in collaboration with partners, sponsors, and ecosystem players, creating continuous opportunities for networking, dealmaking, and knowledge exchange.

This decentralized format allows participants to engage with the ecosystem in multiple settings, from formal conference environments to informal, high-value networking moments.  

Positioning & Scale

Dutch Blockchain Week has evolved into the leading blockchain and Web3 event in the Netherlands, bringing together innovators, enterprises, developers, authorities, and investors from across the globe.

Since its launch in 2019, the event has grown into a large-scale ecosystem platform featuring conferences, hackathons, networking sessions, and awards, attracting thousands of participants and top-tier partners each year.  

The 2026 edition is expected to further expand its reach, with:
