Thirteen flagship crypto and AI event weeks across 2026. ETHDenver, Bitcoin 2026, ETH NYC, Consensus, Permissionless, ETHCC, Mainnet, Korea Blockchain Week, Token2049 Singapore, SmartCon, Devcon, ETH India, and Solana Breakpoint. FORKOFF runs the same audit-proof activation across every week on this calendar. One operator, one dashboard, audit-tracked outcomes at T+30 close.
Each card opens a dedicated activation page with per-event ICP intel, week-of cadence, and tier pricing. Pick the room that matches your milestone, not the room with the loudest sponsor list.
Hacker-dense weekend in Manhattan. Right room for AI x crypto founders, EVM builders, and US-East funds shopping for Series A signal.
The institutional anchor week. US press, regulators, and TradFi capital concentrated in Austin. Highest leverage for protocols pursuing US-listed exchange or fund-of-funds tickets.
European Ethereum founder week. Mediterranean fund circuit, post-Brexit UK regulators, and EU policy operators in one walkable block of Cannes.
Asia anchor week. KBW main stage plus the Korean AI Hub circuit (Naver D2, LG AI, KAIST) overlap, pulling AI founders into the same week as Web3 protocols.
APAC capital week. Family offices, sovereign wealth, and Singapore-licensed exchanges in a 48-hour deal-closing window. Side events across Marina Bay.
Ethereum core dev week. Protocol-grade research, EF-aligned funding leads, and the LATAM builder cluster. Highest credibility-by-association of any week on this calendar.
South Asia builder week. India dev cluster, Polygon and Mantle ecosystem activations, and the highest engineer-density signal on the global calendar.

Most events listings are sponsorship menus. The FORKOFF calendar is an ICP-intent map. Each week is paired with the founders, funds, and operators who actually show up, the milestones that get earned in that room, and the activation tier that returns measurable pipeline. Pick the room that matches your milestone, then run a 14 to 30-day operating cycle around it. Pair the activation with event management, KOL marketing, and podcast for compounding leverage.
Three options for showing up at a flagship event week. Match your stage, capital structure, and willingness to commit to a 14 to 30-day operating cycle before picking.

Thirteen flagship event weeks across 2026. One operator, one verified proof, one signed receipt per event at T+30 close. Pair the activation with event management, podcast, or Dubai go-to-market for compounding leverage across the back half of the year.
FORKOFF has run activations across 42 events since 2023 and served 150+ brands, per our own operating record, at events including Korea Blockchain Week, ETHDenver, and Token2049. That is what lets this calendar be a plan rather than a list. Each activation was a curated gathering or side event sized between 100 and 250 people, built around a pre-event narrative, an on-site cadence, and a post-event compounding motion, so we know which weeks on the 2026 calendar are worth your budget and which are noise.
The mistake most teams make is treating each event as an isolated spend. Across our 42-event history the campaigns that compounded were the ones that sequenced the year, using an early activation to seed relationships a later one closes, so the post-event motion of one room became the pre-event narrative of the next. Sizing each stop to a focused 100 to 250 person room keeps the sequence sharp instead of spreading a fixed budget thin across every conference that sends an invoice.
The full method sits on the event management service page, every individual breakdown lives on the events hub, and a good anchor for a 2026 sequence is the Token2049 Singapore breakdown.
