Beginning in just four days,
@IstanbulBlockWk is set to be one of the most impactful blockchain events of the 2026 calendar.
Tickets are now live.
Here are four reasons you will not want to miss it…

- Representatives from the Government of Türkiye.
-

... and countless others. The event is a chance to hear from the most influential people from within and without the blockchain sector.
(2) DEDICATED INSTITUTIONAL SUMMIT: Alongside the main event itself, IBW will host a dedicated closed-door institutional forum. Accessible only to those with VIP access, the summit is designed to be a genuine, high level forum exclusively for decision makers at leading institutions and organisations. The likes of

IBW 2026 is not an event to sleep on...
