B2C’ 2026: The Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Conference Coming to Gran Canaria

A research-driven blockchain and crypto conference for Web3, DeFi, smart contracts, digital assets, security, regulation, and real-world adoption.

Blockchain is no longer only about coins, charts, and market cycles. It is now reshaping digital finance, decentralized applications, smart contracts, tokenization, data security, Web3 infrastructure, regulatory frameworks, and the way digital trust is built across industries.

As the crypto ecosystem continues to mature, the need for serious research, real-world use cases, and practical discussion has never been greater. That is where B2C’ 2026 – the 5th International Conference on Blockchain and Cryptocurrency – comes in.

B2C’ 2026 will take place on 28-30 October 2026 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain, bringing together researchers, developers, engineers, blockchain specialists, FinTech professionals, PhD students, industry experts, and decision-makers from around the world.

Why B2C’ 2026 Matters for the Blockchain Space

The blockchain industry is entering a new phase. After years of rapid experimentation, the focus is shifting toward scalable systems, safer protocols, stronger regulation, better interoperability, practical adoption, and trusted infrastructure.

B2C’ 2026 is designed for this new stage of the market.

The conference will focus not only on cryptocurrencies, but also on the broader blockchain ecosystem: distributed ledgers, smart contracts, DeFi, Web3, digital currencies, NFTs, security, privacy, legal issues, financial crime prevention, decentralized governance, and real-world blockchain applications.

For researchers and professionals who want to look beyond short-term market noise, B2C’ 2026 offers a space to discuss the deeper technologies and ideas shaping the next generation of the crypto economy.
