In moments like these, the value of coming together becomes clear.
While the world navigates complex global challenges — from shifting geopolitical landscapes and technological disruption to questions of economic liberty, privacy, energy security, and real-world technology adoption — the most important gathering of the year is taking shape in New York.
Blockchain Week – UNGA Edition (September 10–19, 2026), coinciding with the 81st United Nations General Assembly, is where the big and the small meet in Times Square. Policymakers, institutions, builders, founders, and innovators will come together not simply to discuss the future, but to turn conversation into coordinated action.
Blockchain, artificial intelligence, liberty, privacy, digital assets, energy, and real-world adoption do not advance in silos. Progress accelerates only when the full ecosystem occupies the same physical space at the same critical moment. That is precisely what Blockchain Week – UNGA Edition is designed to create.
Over ten days in the heart of Times Square, the gathering will bring together more than 100 speakers and a broad cross-section of the global community.
Confirmed Voices
Bitcoin pioneer and futurist Brock Pierce, Liberland President Vít Jedlička, Bitcoin Supercycle author and investor Michael Terpin, diplomat and blockchain diplomacy expert Hugh Dugan, CryptoMondays founder Lou Kerner, and Master of Ceremonies Bruce Porter Jr., CEO of GlobalBoost. These voices join a wider roster of policymakers, institutional leaders, technologists, and innovators focused on the practical intersection of technology and global affairs.
The timing is intentional. With world leaders, diplomats, and decision-makers already concentrated in New York for UNGA 81, Blockchain Week – UNGA Edition creates a rare window for high-signal dialogue across traditionally separate domains. Discussions will span nation-state strategy and Bitcoin policy, AI and decentralized systems, energy innovation, digital identity and privacy, tokenization of real-world assets, and the broader infrastructure required for meaningful adoption.
This is not another conference that operates at the margins of global decision-making. It is a deliberate convergence — held in the same city, during the same week, when the people who shape policy and the people who build the technology are both present.
This is why we gather.
This is why it matters.
See you in New York.
