AIBC Eurasia 2026: AIBC Eurasia is back to open the year in style, returning to Dubai for its sixth edition. The summit will take place from 09 to 11 February at the Dubai Festival City Festival Arena, bringing together a two-day conference and expo focused on the latest in cutting-edge technology. Whether this is your first time attending or you know the ropes already, this guide will help you make the most of your experience from arrival to closing celebrations.
The event connects senior decision-makers, investors, and innovators from fast-growing markets across Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East, creating a truly international meeting point for tech and business leaders.
An Expo Floor Designed to Deliver Results
The exhibition floor is all about meaningful connections. Alongside exhibitor stands, delegates will find a central stage hosting expert-led discussions, executive lounges for private meetings, dedicated networking areas, and a carefully selected food court that keeps conversations flowing throughout the day.
Once the expo wraps up, the networking continues across Dubai. From exclusive dinners and charity events to awards ceremonies, evenings are just as busy as the show floor.
With more than 250 exhibitors and sponsors and two conference stages, the scale of AIBC Eurasia means you will definitely hit your step count for the week. When it’s time to slow down, four VIP lounges offer a comfortable space to meet, recharge, and enjoy a coffee while planning your next session.
AIBC Press Conference
Something big is on the horizon. On 10 February at 09:45, the AIBC stage will host a press conference unveiling exciting plans for AIBC in 2026.
“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. 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,” says AIBC Managing Director, Olga Yaroshevsky.
