Punta Cana, Dominican Republic — BlockCon Punta Cana 2026, the high-end, all-inclusive Web3 business retreat, will take place from November 25 to 28, 2026, at Barceló Bávaro Beach in the Dominican Republic. The four-day event will bring together banks, enterprises, platform operators, investors and founders under one central theme: bridging traditional finance and the digital economy. Through conference sessions, curated networking, private roundtables and startup-VC matchmaking, the event aims to connect global finance and Web3 leaders for meaningful business collaboration.
Unlike conventional crypto expos, BlockCon is built around dealmaking. The format pairs morning conference sessions with curated networking, private roundtables and resort-style retreat activities, alongside a dedicated Startup & VC Matchmaking Session that connects early-stage projects directly with capital.
