BITMELA Conference 2026

BITMELA Conference 2026 is a two-day festival on the future of money, held on 30-31 October 2026 at the InterContinental Jaipur in India. Bitcoin (BTC) is the central coin on the agenda, alongside discussions of AI and other asset classes.

What is happening

BITMELA is the first edition of a new festival organized in India. The name combines "bit," the smallest unit of digital information, with "mela," an Indian fair where people meet, trade and exchange ideas. The organizers describe it as India's first festival focused on what comes next for money, with Bitcoin discussed beside gold, stocks, real estate and AI. They also state that no prior Bitcoin knowledge is required.

Doors open at 8 AM on both days. Daytime talks take place in the Main Ballroom, while the outdoor grounds host the mela. More than 40 speakers are announced, including founders of consumer and fintech companies, lawyers, educators and wallet builders. Evenings turn into a gala with street food and games. Cake Wallet is the title sponsor, and listed partners include Bitshala, Trezor, Coconut Wallet and Fedi.

Four passes are offered, priced from ₹999 to ₹74,999: Entry, Mela, Gala and Exec. All of them cover the talks on both days. Higher tiers add lunch buffets, merchandise, the opening-night dinner with an open bar, and a three-night hotel stay. Entry, Mela and Gala passes show a 5% discount for payment in Bitcoin. Tickets are non-refundable, transfers are allowed until 20 October, and Gala seats are capped at 100. A promo code, COINGABBAR, is listed to give 15% off eligible tickets; whether it combines with the Bitcoin discount is not stated.

Why it matters

As a debut event, BITMELA has no track record, but it adds a Bitcoin-focused gathering to India's conference calendar with a broader take on money than most crypto events. For people who hold BTC or follow the Indian market, it offers a chance to hear from local builders, wallet developers and legal voices, including a speaker who was a petitioner in the Supreme Court case against the RBI banking ban on crypto.

Traders should note that a conference of this kind is an information and networking event, not a protocol or market catalyst. What remains unclear is the talk-by-talk schedule, since only a daily outline has been published, and the final speaker list, which is expected to grow. Prices, promo terms and the agenda may change, so details are best confirmed with the organizers.
