Dutch Blockchain Week 2027 Amsterdam

Dutch Blockchain Week is a run of digital asset, blockchain and Web3 events held across Amsterdam each spring. According to the organiser, it started as a community project and has since turned into an international week of industry gatherings. It presents itself as one of the main European business events in its field. The 2027 week runs from 17 to 23 May. Its centre is the DBW Main Summit, held over two days on 19 and 20 May at the Johan Cruijff ArenA. This summit has two stages, the Main Stage and the Amsterdam Stage, plus exhibition and partner areas, networking spaces and an official networking app. The Dutch Blockchain Awards 2027 also form part of the week. Around the summit, companies and communities host their own side events across Amsterdam, including dinners, meetups and networking drinks; that calendar is published two weeks before the week begins. The target audience is institutional rather than retail. On the organiser's list are crypto exchanges and market makers, banks, funds and payment companies, along with regulators, infrastructure providers and senior technology people. No 2027 speakers or agenda have been announced. The 2026 line-up included people from Visa, Kraken, OKX, Bitvavo, Ripple, Chainlink, the Dutch financial markets regulator AFM and the Dutch Ministry of Finance, and past sponsors include Bitvavo, OKX and Bybit EU, but none of them is confirmed for this edition. Passes cover either one summit day (19 or 20 May) or both. At Super Early Bird rates, valid until 30 November, the Pro ticket costs €99 and gives access to both stages, the booths and the networking areas. The VIP ticket, at €549, adds a VIP area with food and drinks, fast-track entry and the VIP Night on 18 May in the arena's Royal Lounge. A small allocation of €25 student tickets requires a valid student ID. For crypto affiliates and media buyers, the main value is access to exchanges and payment companies that may run partner programmes. The fit is mostly business development: the programme leans towards regulation, institutions and infrastructure rather than traffic or acquisition, so affiliate-specific sessions should not be expected.
