Side event of Philippine Blockchain Week 2026 you cannot miss!
📅 17 June 2026, 7pm onwards

You're going to PBW. So is everyone else.
15,000 people. Thousands of pitches. Hundreds of panels. The same ten buzzwords on repeat.
Before all of that fires up, there's one night that actually matters.
Neon Blackout is The Beyond's official PBW side event. 100 founders, builders, and operators. One venue. Blacklights on. Paddles out. No pitch decks. No corporate theatre. No more than 100.
Just the people worth knowing, before the week gets loud.
