Korea Blockchain Week 2026

Seoul · Sep 29–Oct 1, 2026 · ICN / GMP

Business & IndustryDates confirmedWalkerhill Hotels & Resorts

Korea Blockchain Week 2026 runs Tuesday, September 29, through Thursday, October 1, at Walkerhill Hotels & Resorts in Seoul. FactBlock organizes the week with Upbit as presenting partner. Day one is an invite-only institutional summit; the main conference fills September 30 and October 1. If your work crosses Korean exchanges, global protocols, or U.S.–Asia digital-asset policy, put the week on the calendar and leave the Myeongdong tourist loop for another trip.

Who should cross for this

Crypto founders, institutional investors, developers, policymakers, and Asia–North America teams working digital assets, AI integration, and market structure.

A Seoul meeting point where Korean exchanges, global protocols, and North American capital and policy voices concentrate—prior editions drew substantial international attendance into Korea’s digital-asset market.

Suggested trip length: 4–5 nights covering the summit and both main conference days

Know which day you can actually enter

September 29 stays invite-only. Organizers describe an Upbit Institutional Summit for policymakers, financial institutions, and senior industry leaders. Most traveling attendees should plan around the September 30–October 1 main conference and treat side events as a separate RSVP layer.

Buy through tickets.koreablockchainweek.com and recheck refund and badge-pickup rules before nonrefundable flights.

Walkerhill is the destination

KBW publishes preferential rates at Walkerhill properties for the week. Staying on-site reduces the risk of missing early sessions after a river-crossing commute. If you prefer Gangnam nightlife, budget reliable evening cars back up the hill rather than assuming late subway coverage matches conference hours.

Session grids are still filling

Full session grids and some speaker rooms continue to fill through late summer. Use the official speakers and agenda pages for live detail, and treat 2025 side-event coverage as history rather than a 2026 promise—even when familiar names return.
