India Blockchain Week 2026 Conference (IBW2026)
The IBW2026 Conference, the flagship two-day event of India Blockchain Week, takes place on November 1-2, 2026, at the Fairmont Mumbai in India. It is hosted by Hashed Emergent and is not tied to any specific coin; it covers the wider blockchain and Web3 ecosystem.
What is happening
This is the fourth edition of India Blockchain Week and the first to be held in Mumbai, after previous editions in Bangalore. According to the organizers, Mumbai was chosen as India's financial hub, which brings the conference closer to financiers and institutions. The conference is the main event within a broader series of Web3 activities, while India Blockchain Week as a whole also includes independent side events such as hackathons, workshops, networking lounges, investor dinners and after-parties. Not all side events are held at the Fairmont Mumbai or organized by Hashed Emergent, and their number and schedule should be checked against the organizers' official list.
The conference is aimed at developers, protocol engineers, founders, executives, investors, venture funds and institutional representatives. Speakers announced on the official website include Eli Ben-Sasson of StarkWare, Keone Hon of the Monad Foundation, SB Seker of Binance, Aishwary Gupta of Polygon Labs, Ashish Singhal of CoinSwitch and Marcin Kazmierczak of RedStone Oracles, among others. The lineup may still change before the event, and the detailed track and session agenda is to be confirmed once published.
Tickets come in several categories: General, Priority, VIP, Executive VIP and Student passes, with differing levels of access and amenities. Prices and benefits are subject to change. IBW2026 Pass holders also receive a code to buy a Devcon 8 ticket for US$99, which must be redeemed by October 25, 2026. Devcon 8 is a separate event organized by the Ethereum Foundation, scheduled for November 3-6, 2026, in Mumbai.
Why it matters
The conference brings builders, funding sources and institutional participants into one venue, and the speaker list reflects interest in payments, real-world assets (RWA) and institutional involvement. The move to Mumbai signals an intent to engage more directly with India's financial sector. For the industry, such gatherings are a place where projects present developments, announce partnerships and discuss adoption and real-world use cases.
For holders and traders, the event is an informational occasion rather than a scheduled protocol change. Announcements made by participating teams or on the sidelines may draw attention to specific ecosystems, but no outcomes can be assumed in advance. Those following the event should rely on official organizer channels for the agenda, speaker updates and side-event listings.
