TOKEN2049 Dubai has been postponed to April 2027 due to heightened security risks and regional uncertainty in the UAE.Summary
Organizers of the global crypto conference TOKEN2049 announced that the Dubai edition, originally planned for 2026, has been moved to April 21–22, 2027. This decision stems from "ongoing uncertainty in the region" impacting safety, international travel, and operational logistics, which could hinder the event's typical scale. Organizers prioritized ensuring the industry can gather safely. Existing ticket holders can use their credentials for the new 2027 dates or transfer them to the TOKEN2049 Singapore conference in October 2026. The postponement follows recent Iranian missile and drone strikes on the UAE and the cancellation of another crypto event, Gateway Dubai, by The Open Network over similar safety concerns.
