BBCON 2026 is coming back to Kuching this November, with twice the size and a focus on real-world applications of AI, blockchain and digital tech.

The Borneo Blockchain Conference 2026 (BBCON 2026) will take place on Nov 18-19 at voco Hotel Kuching, aiming to attract around 1,500 delegates — up from 600 in its debut last year.

Organised by the Kuching Blockchain Technology Association (KBTA), this year’s conference shifts from conceptual discussions to practical implementation. KBTA president Gan Beng Yoke said blockchain is increasingly being recognised for improving transparency, security and trust across banking, healthcare, public services, supply chains and digital identity.

Key highlights include keynote presentations, panel discussions, technical sharing sessions, networking opportunities, and startup-investor matching programmes.

UiTM Sarawak rector Prof Dr Firdaus Abdullah said the university’s participation will add a strong academic component through research presentations and innovation showcases, aligning with Sarawak’s Post Covid-19 Development Strategy (PCDS) 2030 and Sarawak Digital Economy Blueprint 2030.
