Opening Drinks is a pre-conference networking evening held in central Stockholm on May 25, 2026, from 18:00 to 22:00. The gathering takes place the day before the 8th edition of the Nordic Blockchain Conference (NBC2026) and is open to all registered conference attendees. The format is informal, with drinks and light bites rather than panels or scheduled programming. Attendees typically include participants working across policy, digital finance, and technology, making it a relaxed setting for early arrivals and those looking to connect before the main program begins. The exact venue will be announced closer to the date.
