It is organized by Chasing Mavericks and brings together leaders, builders, and fans of Blockchain Technology. The goal is simple: show how blockchain can help grow Africa’s economy. Kenya Blockchain and Crypto Conference 2026 (KBCC 2026) are still being finalized, the organizers are already welcoming pre-registrations, following the success of the 2025 edition which drew over 1,600 attendees for two dynamic days of dialogue, innovation, and networking around blockchain, Web3, and cryptocurrency in Africa.
