ETHMilan returns May 21–22 at Milan science museum

ETHMilan will be held May 21–22, 2026, at the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci in Milan for its fourth annual edition. Organizers expect more than 2,000 attendees, including developers, investors, policymakers and students.

The two-day program includes tracks on decentralized finance, real-world assets, neobanks, agentic payments, artificial intelligence, zero-knowledge proofs, stablecoins and institutional adoption. More than 100 speakers from international firms and the local builder community are scheduled to appear.

Organizers have confirmed more than 10 sponsors for the conference, with payments firm MoonPay named title sponsor for the 2026 edition. Registered attendees will receive access to the museum’s permanent exhibitions during the event.

The conference will use space inside one of Milan’s largest historical science museums for talks and networking alongside permanent collections. Organizers noted the venue links the city’s technological history with contemporary blockchain development.

Student registration for ETHMilan is free. Tickets for other attendees are on sale now, and discounted rates are available through an exclusive registration link provided by organizers.

ETHMilan launched in 2023 and has been held annually since. The event focuses on decentralized finance and emerging blockchain infrastructure and on interactions between those technologies and traditional finance and industry.

“ETHMilan 2026 will involve speakers from Kraken, Trust Wallet and Tether, and increase institutional attendance while cultivating new talent from leading European universities,” an ETHMilan representative noted.

The conference is open to builders, investors and students and aims to present projects and research that support wider blockchain adoption.
