Korea Blockchain Week 2026

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

Business & IndustryPast eventWalkerhill Hotels & Resorts

Korea Blockchain Week 2026 ran Tuesday, September 29, through Thursday, October 1, at Walkerhill Hotels & Resorts in Seoul. FactBlock organized the week with Upbit as presenting partner. Day one was an invite-only institutional summit; the main conference filled September 30 and October 1. For work crossing Korean exchanges, global protocols, or U.S.–Asia digital-asset policy, the week belonged on the calendar—and the Myeongdong tourist loop belonged on 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 stayed invite-only. Organizers described an Upbit Institutional Summit for policymakers, financial institutions, and senior industry leaders. Most traveling attendees planned around the September 30–October 1 main conference and treated side events as a separate RSVP layer.

Tickets ran through tickets.koreablockchainweek.com.

Walkerhill is the destination

KBW published preferential rates at Walkerhill properties for the week. Staying on-site reduced the risk of missing early sessions after a river-crossing commute. Gangnam nightlife meant budgeting reliable evening cars back up the hill rather than assuming late subway coverage matched conference hours.

Session grids filled through late summer

Full session grids and some speaker rooms continued to fill through late summer. Official speakers and agenda pages carried live detail; 2025 side-event coverage was history rather than a 2026 promise.
