The next phase of the digital economy will take shape in real time at Philippine Blockchain Week (PBW) 2026 from June 19 to 21 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay.
PBW 2026 returns with the theme “Decoded: Deployed” as it moves beyond theory to showcase how blockchain is already being used to power real systems – from finance and gaming to public infrastructure and digital identity.
If you have ever used a digital wallet, played an online game to earn, or questioned how public funds are tracked, you are already part of this shift. PBW 2026 is where you see where it goes next – and who is building it.
PBW 2026 reflects the country’s transition from understanding blockchain to actively implementing it. What was once experimental is now being deployed – with growing relevance in transparency, accountability, and economic participation.
“PBW 2026 brings together the energy of a festival with the depth of a world-class conference,” said event co-founder and president Janelle Batretto in a statement. “We’re creating a full-spectrum experience, where business, culture, and community come together in one space.”
Designed to be the most expansive PBW yet, the event brings together decision-makers, builders, creators, and communities across multiple touchpoints. What to expect
The Blockchain Council of the Philippines (BCP) is co-presenting the invitation-only Philippine Blockchain Leadership Forum where leaders from government, finance, and global industry will align to shape policy, accelerate collaboration, and define blockchain’s role alongside artificial intelligence and cybersecurity.
The Alt+Tab Gaming and Music Festival will connect blockchain to the next generation through gaming, esports, P-Pop, cosplay, and fandom-driven experiences.
The Decoded: Deployed Main Conference will see global thought leaders present real-world applications of blockchain – from financial inclusion to secure data ownership and beyond.
An Innovation Expo offers hands-on look at Web3 in action, featuring fintech platforms, gaming ecosystems, and enterprise solutions already being deployed across the Philippines.
Also to be featured at the event are a Celebrity Bazaar, PBW Fight Night, hackathon, VC-startup matchmaking, after-parties, and curated networking events designed to turn conversations into partnerships.
“Blockchain is no longer just about potential – it’s about execution,” said BCP Chairman and Management Association of the Philippines President Donald Lim. “What matters now is how we align efforts across industry and government to turn early use cases into systems that deliver real, lasting impact.”
