CONF3RENCE 2026

CONF3RENCE 2026: The Era of Real-World Adoption

September 15–16, 2026 | Kokerei Hansa, Dortmund | Free admission, registration required

Bridging the Gap: Where Emerging Tech Meets the Economy

Join us for the European event connecting the traditional economy with the frontier of technology. On September 15–16, 2026, CONF3RENCE takes place at the historic Kokerei Hansa in Dortmund, bringing together Europe's decision-makers across Web3, Finance, AI, SaaS and Emerging Tech.

For 2026, admission is free for everyone, on both days. CONF3RENCE runs inside the Festival of Arts, Tech & Taste on the same site: a culinary programme, installations, a Ferris wheel and live formats turn a technology event into an event campus — and bring an audience that reaches well beyond the industry itself.

Two Days, Two Programmes, One Open Campus

Both days are open to everyone. What differs is the programme, not the access.

Day 1: Business & Institutions (September 15) — from midday into the Opening Night. Built for enterprises, institutions, the public sector and investors. Curated stages, high-level meetings and partner showcases designed to foster partnerships and close deals. This is where the traditional economy integrates with future tech.

Day 2: Adoption & Community (September 16) — a full day built for new users, creators and community programming. Hands-on demos, onboarding sessions and product showcases. This day is about turning curiosity into active usage and experiencing the technology firsthand.

Access: Admission is free on both days and there are no ticket tiers — every visitor has the same access to stages, programme and site. Capacity is limited, so a valid (free) ticket is mandatory for entrance.
