The organisers of Nigeria Blockchain & AI Week (NBAWEEK) have officially announced the postponement of the 6th edition of the annual technology summit, originally scheduled for November 6–7, 2026, at the Landmark Event Centre, Lagos, to March 2027.
The decision follows careful consideration by the organising team, with a renewed commitment to delivering an event that meets the expectations of its growing community of stakeholders, sponsors, speakers, exhibitors, partners and attendees.
Over the years, Nigeria Blockchain & AI Week has evolved into an important platform for conversations, collaboration and knowledge exchange within Africa’s blockchain, cryptocurrency, fintech, artificial intelligence and emerging technology ecosystem.
Through its previous editions and broader media platforms, the initiative has consistently created opportunities for policymakers, regulators, technology leaders, investors, entrepreneurs and innovators to engage on critical issues shaping the future of the digital economy.
The platform has facilitated conversations around emerging technology policies, cryptocurrency and digital asset regulation, artificial intelligence governance, blockchain adoption, financial inclusion, stablecoins, digital payments and the future of Africa’s technology-driven economy.
Beyond the annual summit, these initiatives have contributed to strengthening industry relationships, promoting innovation, supporting technology education and amplifying African perspectives in global conversations about emerging technologies.
Speaking on the development, Lee Ucheoma Ohaeri, CEO of the organising company, said:
“Building Nigeria Blockchain & AI Week has been a remarkable journey. What started as an idea has grown into a platform that brings together some of the most influential voices in Africa’s emerging technology ecosystem.
“Over the years, we have created opportunities for meaningful conversations, partnerships and engagements around policies, regulations and innovations that will shape our digital future.
“This decision was not an easy one, but we believe in the importance of delivering an event that reflects the vision and standard we have built over the years. We would rather take the necessary time to strengthen our preparations than compromise on the quality of the experience we want to deliver.”
The organisers have expressed their sincere appreciation to all speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, institutional partners, registered attendees and members of the media who have supported the initiative.
Further information regarding the revised dates, programme and participation arrangements will be communicated through the event’s official channels.
Nigeria Blockchain & AI Week remains committed to advancing blockchain, artificial intelligence, fintech and emerging technology adoption across Africa through media, education, industry engagement and strategic partnerships.
Nigeria Blockchain & AI Week will return in March 2027 with renewed ambition and a stronger commitment to shaping Africa’s digital future.
