European Blockchain Convention 13 Barcelona 2027

The European Blockchain Convention is a digital-asset conference run by the organisation of the same name, which also stages Digital Assets Forum events in New York, London and Abu Dhabi. Its thirteenth edition, EBC 13, is set for 23 and 24 September 2027 in Barcelona, Spain. The organiser bills it as Europe's Deal Floor for Digital Assets. The venue is not named; the partner hotel, the five-star Torre Melina Gran Meliá, sits beside it. The event targets institutional crypto. Banks, asset managers and established financial firms are placed at the centre of the programme, next to exchanges, custodians, protocols, infrastructure vendors, founders and policymakers. The organiser cites a following of more than 70,000 professionals across digital-asset markets, infrastructure and policy. That is a following, not an attendance count. The format leans on meetings rather than talks. Delegates can browse the attendee list in an app and book one-to-one slots before they arrive, and the organiser lists 10,000 such meetings. Beyond the stages and expo, the programme adds an LP breakfast for allocators, hedge funds, banks and high-net-worth investors, a Startup Battle for young infrastructure and application companies, closed roundtables for senior delegates, a press room for interviews and curated side events. The speakers listed so far are from the 2026 edition. Three passes are on sale, priced before 10% VAT and rising in three steps. The General Pass moves from €500 early bird to €850 regular and €1,200 late and covers both days, the expo, the stages, the Startup Battle and the matchmaking app. The VIP Pass (€800, €1,400, €1,800) adds lunches with speakers, sponsors and media on both days, a VIP opening night party and the Speaker Lounge. The Tiger Pass (€2,499, €4,900, €7,000) adds full content access, an attendee list without contact details, three arranged meetings and a bookable table in the meeting area. The partner hotel rate, a saving of €100 a night, is listed as fully booked. For affiliates the fit is indirect. EBC is built around institutional finance and market infrastructure rather than marketing, and the published material shows no affiliate or user-acquisition track. It is most useful for crypto and forex media owners, exchange partnership teams and B2B publishers that sell to banks, custodians and fund managers. Media buyers running retail crypto traffic will find few direct buyers.
