MENA Blockchain Week isn't your standard conference. It's Dubai's first fully decentralized, city-wide blockchain event. Think 40+ simultaneous events across the city, not one ballroom.
May 18-24, 2026:
5,000+ attendees
100+ speakers (founders, VCs, regulators)
7 themed tracks: Builders, AI x Blockchain, Payments, Regulation, RWA, Creators, Trading
The model? 90% of sponsorship revenue flows directly to event organizers and venues. Any community can host under the MENABCW banner with full creative control. No centralized gatekeeping.
Organized by SkyNet X Solutions + Dubai Business Events (official arm of Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism).
This is what real ecosystem building looks like. Not a one-off conference that fades after 48 hours. The city becomes the venue. The community runs the show.
If you're building in MENA or looking for regional alpha, this is the week to be in Dubai.
