CONF3RENCE 2026 transforms Dortmund landmark into deep tech campus

The Kokerei Hansa industrial site in Dortmund will pivot from coal-era heritage to digital infrastructure this September, hosting the CONF3RENCE 2026 event. Moving away from traditional conference formats, the organizers are establishing a two-day campus focused on AI, blockchain, and enterprise innovation under the banner of measurable, real-world outcomes.

Running from September 15 to 16, the event splits its agenda to bridge the gap between corporate strategy and public adoption. The first day serves as a dedicated B2B summit, connecting decision-makers from firms like Microsoft, Google Cloud, IBM, and PwC to discuss tokenization, regulated digital assets, and enterprise AI. Organizers emphasize a practical orientation, framing the venue as a site for deal flow and project development rather than theoretical discourse.

The second day shifts to an open-access format, allowing the public to engage with hands-on product experiences and onboarding sessions. This retail-focused day remains free of charge, aiming to demystify complex technologies for a broader audience. The event is integrated into the wider Festival of Arts, Tech & Taste (FATT) and coordinates with the Digitale Woche Dortmund, anchoring the tech discussions within the region's broader economic and cultural ecosystem. By utilizing the historic Kokerei Hansa, CONF3RENCE 2026 aims to contrast the Ruhr region’s industrial history with the current shift toward compute-heavy, digital-first business models.
