Mark your calendars—the clock's ticking toward January 2026.

When things move this fast, real conversation becomes critical.

From the 19th to the 23rd of January next year, heavyweights from every corner—government officials, corporate titans, grassroots organizations, academics, and cultural voices—will converge for the 56th edition of that massive annual gathering.

The agenda? Wrestling with the problems we all face, the ones that don't respect borders or industries. Think shifting power dynamics, economic uncertainty, technological disruption. The kind of stuff that keeps central bankers and blockchain founders equally awake at night.

It's that rare moment when traditional finance meets emerging systems, when policy shapers hear from those building parallel economies. Whether you're watching regulatory winds or tracking where institutional money flows next, these five days tend to set the tone for months ahead.
