“The Web3 Carnival is the most locally relevant industry summit and the only one that can reach millions of high-level local developers, entrepreneurs, and newcomers.” — John, Head of Asia Pacific, TON Foundation
"As a sponsoring partner of the Hong Kong Web3 Festival for four consecutive years, we have witnessed the entire process of Hong Kong's Web3 ecosystem from its inception to its accelerated development. This platform not only connects the world's most forward-thinking technological forces but also effectively promotes the industry to find a balance between security, compliance, and innovation. We look forward to continuing to work with ecosystem partners to build a more secure Web3 infrastructure and drive the long-term value and secure development of the industry." —SlowMist

From April 20 to 23, 2026, the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival, jointly created by Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group, will once again take place at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
As the industry's annual event held in Hong Kong for four consecutive years, this year's carnival will continue to unleash its "home advantage," connecting tradition and innovation, linking the East and the West, and allowing global wisdom to converge here.
A gathering of authorities, the grand event will resume in 2026.
Distinguished speakers and global ecosystem partners gathered together, forming a solid foundation and diverse landscape for this grand event.
Currently, Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan, Wanxiang Blockchain Chairman and Hashkey Group Chairman and CEO Xiao Feng, Hong Kong Legislative Council Member (Technology Innovation Sector) Yau Tat-Ken, Solana Foundation President Lily Liu, MatrixPort Founding Partner and Chief Business Officer Cynthia Wu, Animoca Brands Co-founder and Chairman Yat Siu, and Global Fintech Academy Dean and Singapore University of Social Sciences Professor Li Guoquan (listed in no particular order) are among the global opinion leaders confirmed to attend, bringing cutting-edge thinking and insights. More heavyweight guests will be announced continuously, so stay tuned.
Meanwhile, this year's carnival is honored to join hands with its strategic partner, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, and to receive strong support from its global ecosystem partners, including title sponsor OKX Web3, platinum sponsor Qtum, exclusive gala dinner sponsor Sui Foundation, primary booth sponsors bitbaby, HappyMeta, and SlowMist, secondary booth sponsors Ellipal, Fufuture, and Passey, and tertiary booth sponsor RWA.LTD (sponsors at the same level are listed in alphabetical order). Together, we are creating a global industry event that deeply integrates ideas, resources, and opportunities.
Breaking Boundaries: Connecting Tradition and Innovation
This year's carnival's appeal extends beyond the native Web3 field; its stronger potential for "breaking out of its niche" is already evident.
Leveraging the extensive experience and expertise of Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey in resource channels and brand building over the years, the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival has attracted over 500 senior executives from traditional finance and real economy industries as of December 2025. These attendees are all high-net-worth individuals and core decision-makers with a strong interest in the Web3 field.
Substantial collaboration begins with high-quality encounters. This is also one of the core values of this year's carnival: to build a bridge for dialogue between cutting-edge digital innovation and vast traditional industry resources, making subsequent integration truly possible.
Connecting East and West, building a global ecosystem
Since its inception in 2023, the Hong Kong Web3 Carnival has rapidly grown into one of the world's most influential crypto summits, building a high-standard, high-quality, and in-depth platform for East-West exchange.
The past three events have attracted over 100,000 on-site attendees, brought together over 350 cutting-edge projects, invited over 1,200 speakers to share their insights, and generated over 400 related events, successfully building a vibrant ecosystem centered on the conference and radiating throughout the city.
As our partners have stated, this platform is not only "the most localized industry summit, the only one that can reach millions of local high-level developers, entrepreneurs, and newcomers," but it is also committed to "connecting the world's most forward-looking technological forces" and continuously "driving the industry to find a balance between security, compliance, and innovation."
As a hub connecting the Web3 ecosystems of the East and West, the 2026 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival will continue to leverage Hong Kong's unique advantages of being "backed by the mainland and facing the world" to build an efficient channel between the Asian market and global resources. This year's event will be dedicated to promoting the deep integration of cutting-edge global technologies, business models, and compliance practices with the Asian market; at the same time, it will help outstanding local developers, startup teams, and innovative projects reach the international stage, achieving comprehensive integration and value linkage from technology and resources to the market.
In April 2026, let us gather in Hong Kong again to not only witness the future, but also participate in and define it!
