At a crucial moment when the global Web3 wave is surging and Hong Kong is actively promoting virtual asset policies and digital economic transformation, the " Global Web3 Dev Con 2026 ", hosted by Web3Labs and co-hosted by Techub News, will be held at Cyberport, Hong Kong on February 8-9, 2026!
As an official major side event of Consensus Hong Kong 2026, GWDC kicked off its developer-focused climax three days early, providing a seamless, in-depth practical platform for industry leaders, investors, and builders who arrived in Hong Kong early. Leveraging Hong Kong's "One Country, Two Systems" policy advantages and Cyberport's Web3 hub positioning, the conference aims to incubate Asia's next blockbuster blockchain project.
