Ninth edition of Dutch Blockchain Week will take place May 17–23, 2027, with the two-day Main Summit returning to the Johan Cruijff ArenA on May 19 & 20
Amsterdam, 20 October 2026 – Dutch Blockchain Week (DBW) today announced the dates for its 2027 edition. From May 17–23, 2027, Amsterdam will once again bring together people from across digital assets, finance, payments, blockchain and tech. They will meet for a full week of events, business and networking.
At the heart of the week, the Dutch Blockchain Week Main Summit will return to the Johan Cruijff ArenA on May 19 & 20, 2027. This follows the 2026 edition at the famous Amsterdam venue.
The news marks the official start of the ninth edition of Dutch Blockchain Week. DBW began in 2019 as a Dutch blockchain community project. It has since grown into a global business event. It brings together companies, institutions, founders, investors, policymakers and industry professionals.
The organization is proud that it has grown into one of the top 3 European events for blockchain and digital assets.
Building on DBW26
The 2027 edition follows a major year for Dutch Blockchain Week.
In June 2026, thousands of professionals came together across Amsterdam. The week combined the two-day Main Summit at the Johan Cruijff ArenA with more than 40 events held around the city.
The week brought together many kinds of groups from across the ecosystem, including:
- Exchanges
- Banks
- Payment providers
- Funds and investors
- Market makers
- Regulators
- Infrastructure providers
- Tech companies
The Main Summit welcomed speakers and representatives from companies and institutions including Visa, Kraken, Bitwise, Mastercard, Chainlink and others. They were joined by regulators, policymakers and industry leaders from the Netherlands and Europe.
For 2027, DBW will build on that base. It will also keep widening its focus to cover the trends that link digital assets with the wider finance and tech industries.
Two days at the Johan Cruijff ArenA
On May 19 & 20, the Johan Cruijff ArenA will once again become the central meeting point of Dutch Blockchain Week.
The DBW27 Main Summit will feature two official stages:
- The Main Stage will host the larger industry talks. These include keynotes, panels and interviews with executives, founders, policymakers and industry leaders.
- The Amsterdam Stage will offer a more focused setting for company talks on specific markets, technologies, regulation and real-world uses.
Beyond the stages, the Main Summit will put a strong focus on business and networking. Attendees will have chances to meet possible clients, partners, investors and peers throughout both days.
An entire week in Amsterdam
Dutch Blockchain Week extends beyond the Main Summit.
From May 17–23, companies, communities and partners will host events across Amsterdam. These range from industry sessions and networking events to private dinners, meetups and community gatherings.
The format gives attendees a whole week to meet and reconnect with the industry, instead of just two conference days.
The official DBW27 event calendar will keep growing in the months before May. Companies and communities can submit their own events to become part of the wider Dutch Blockchain Week.
“The next step for Dutch Blockchain Week”
“2026 showed us what Dutch Blockchain Week can become when we bring the industry together for an entire week in Amsterdam. Moving the Main Summit to the Johan Cruijff ArenA was an important step for us, but it was never meant to be the finish line.”
“For 2027, we want to build on that foundation. Our focus is on bringing even more of the digital asset, financial and technology industries together, while keeping the business opportunities and personal connections that have always been at the heart of DBW.”
Dutch Blockchain Week

Dutch Blockchain Week 2027 will keep growing as a business event for people who work in digital assets and related industries.
The event will bring together people from exchanges, banks, payment providers, investment funds, market makers, infrastructure firms, regulators, professional services, tech companies and the wider digital asset world.
Topics across DBW27 will reflect the trends shaping these industries, including:
- Digital assets and stablecoins
- Payments and tokenization
- Institutional adoption
- Infrastructure and custody
- Regulation
- Artificial intelligence and emerging financial technology
At the same time, blockchain and Web3 communities will remain an important part of the week and the wider DBW ecosystem.
