What we're seeing now is a new level of maturity in the space, where crypto is no longer just disruptive, it's becoming foundational.

It brings together builders, policymakers, and investors in one room, creating a rare environment for meaningful dialogue and collaboration. This conference goes beyond market trends to focus on where the industry is truly headed. After a landmark year for digital assets, I'm excited to return in 2026 to connect with the leaders who are driving global adoption and shaping a more mature and scalable era of blockchain development."

Held annually at the historic Suvretta House in St. Moritz and positioned just ahead of the World Economic Forum in Davos, CfC St. Moritz continues to serve as a powerful agenda-setting forum. The event convenes a curated group of just 250 participants, offering unparalleled opportunities for private discussion and high-impact networking among investors, financial institutions, regulators, founders, and thought leaders from both crypto and traditional finance. Applications to attend the 2026 conference will open from mid-October 2025.

Before the main conference begins, the CfC St. Moritz will once again host its signature Pre-Opening on January 12th and 13th, 2026, offering attendees a relaxed, informal environment to connect and network ahead of the core program. Participants will have the opportunity to choose from a curated selection of alpine activities, from skiing and snowshoeing to spa experiences and private lunches, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Engadin Valley. This unique tradition has become a hallmark of the CfC St. Moritz experience, setting the tone for meaningful conversation, connection, and collaboration.
