Co-hosted by BEYOND Expo and ChainNeXT Group, the Web3 Summit will take place from May 28–30, 2026. Against the backdrop of accelerating global tech integration, the boundaries between Web2 and Web3 are rapidly blurring. With clearer global regulations for blockchain-driven internet (Web3) and the special issuance of a Hong Kong dollar stable币 license by the Hong Kong SAR government on April 10, 2026, Web3's decentralized principles are quickly merging with traditional industries (Web2) such as e-commerce, finance, and artificial intelligence. Focused on blockchain-driven digital economy elements, the summit will center on three core principles—implementability, commercial viability, and compliance. It will bring together top Web3 experts to discuss key integration areas like stablecoin payment finance (PayFi), real-world asset tokenization (RWA), and decentralized AI (DeAI), unveiling new opportunities for industrial innovation. The first wave of confirmed speakers includes Jack Kong (Director of Hong Kong Cyberport, Chairman of Nano Labs), Yat Siu (Chairman of Animoca Brands), Michael Wu (Co-founder & CEO of Amber Group), Michael Heinrich (Co-founder & CEO of 0G), and Art Abal (Co-founder of Vana). More Web3 ecosystem pioneers, AI, and fintech experts will be announced soon.
