CB+DC CONFERENCE 2026

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 12 – 14 May

Milan, Italy, 24 – 26 November

The Changing Dynamics of Digital Finance


The landscape of digital currencies and payment systems is undergoing a profound transformation. With the rise of blockchain technology, and with the subsequent advent of CBDCs, stablecoins, and tokenized assets, traditional financial models and payment solutions are facing unprecedented challenges. This evolving ecosystem promises faster transactions, reduced fees, and increased accessibility. But it also raises questions about security, regulation, and privacy.

Businesses and consumers alike are adapting to this changing landscape that opens up new possibilities for innovative solutions.

The ongoing transformation of digital currencies and payment systems is influencing global patterns of saving, spending, and value exchange, shaping the future direction of finance.


The rationale behind the CB+DC Conference


Digital currencies — from CBDCs and stablecoins to tokenized assets — are redefining the financial landscape. Their rise is transforming how businesses move money, opening the door to faster, smarter, and more transparent currency transactions across the globe.

The CB+DC Conference brings together the people shaping this transformation — from central bankers and policymakers to payment innovators and industry leaders. It’s a unique space for learning, collaboration, and forward-thinking dialogue about how digital currencies and new payment infrastructures will revolutionize the way money transfers are executed.



Who should attend?


The CB+DC Conference is the premier global forum dedicated to CBDCs, stablecoins, and tokenized assets. Designed for leaders shaping the future of money, the conference brings together central bank representatives, retail bankers, technology innovators, policymakers, and academics to explore the latest developments in digital currency, exchange insights with experts and peers, and discuss the evolving landscape of digital finance.
