AIBC Eurasia Signals Global Expansion as Institutional Attendance Reaches Record Levels

Dubai, UAE — Tuesday 3 February 2026 — AIBC Eurasia returns to Dubai February 9-11 with record attendance and plans to expand into new markets. The organization will announce its 2026 global roadmap at a press conference on February 10, with new summit locations expected outside its current Europe and Middle East footprint. More than 14,500 delegates have registered for this year’s edition, nearly 40% of them C-level. Altogether, AIBC will feature more than 300 speakers, and 250 exhibitors. 

The summit brings together senior decision-makers, investors, and builders from across Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

“Our AIBC Eurasia Summit comes back in 2026 for its 6th edition, and the energy keeps getting bigger as we reunite the brightest minds in blockchain and digital innovation,” said Olga Yaroshevsky, Managing Director of AIBC “Connecting business, government, investors, and regulators is in our DNA – and with an exciting European chapter coming later this year, we’re doubling down on our mission to build bold bridges between global markets,”

The speaker lineup underscores the event’s growing institutional focus. Nameer Khan, Chairman of the MENA Fintech Association, will address how regulation and capital are shaping the region’s fintech ecosystem, while Mohammed Al Hakim, President of UAE Operations at Crypto.com, speaks to the realities of operating regulated crypto businesses in the UAE. Charles d’Haussy, CEO of the dYdX Foundation, adds a global perspective on how decentralized markets are evolving as institutional participation increases. Innovation speaker Tony Ventura rounds out the program with a practical look at where emerging technologies move beyond hype and into real-world use.

Across two stages, speakers will address regulatory shifts in the UAE and Europe, tokenization strategies that institutions have started using, and use cases where AI and blockchain overlap. 

The startup pitch competition puts early-stage projects in front of investors and operators who can write checks. Past editions have led to funding rounds and deals, while Tony Ventura’s AI workshop will take on a question the industry hasn’t answered yet: Where do AI and blockchain infrastructure actually fit together, and where does hype outpace reality?

The summit extends past the expo floor with a C-level golf tournament at Trump International Golf Club on February 9, the Eurasia Awards and AIBC Awards ceremonies, and a charity auction supporting the SiGMA Foundation.

AIBC Eurasia opens the 2026 calendar, but the organization is treating Dubai as a launchpad for what comes next. New summit locations are expected, and the February 10 press conference will lay out where AIBC is headed as it builds out a presence in regions it hasn’t operated in before.
