CONF3RENCE is Germany's Web3 and digital economy conference, held at Kokerei Hansa in Dortmund on 15-16 September 2026. Admission is free both days in 2026, which makes it one of the more accessible events on the European circuit.
The programme leans towards enterprise adoption, digital identity, regulation under the EU framework, and the practical side of tokenisation, alongside startup pitches and a hands-on developer track. The audience skews German-speaking business and public sector rather than crypto-native trading.
Kokerei Hansa is a preserved industrial monument in the north of Dortmund, part of the Ruhr's industrial heritage route, and an unusual setting for a conference. Dortmund city centre is a short tram or taxi ride, and Cologne, Düsseldorf and Essen are all within an hour by train if you want a bigger base.
