Cryptolina 2026
Join us for a full day at the convergence of blockchain and AI, bringing together the builders, innovators, and policymakers shaping where these technologies are headed next.
Founded in 2013, Cryptolina has spent over a decade building one of the most established blockchain communities in the Carolinas — rooted in innovation and education. This year, we're expanding the conversation to where blockchain and AI intersect, reflecting how these two emerging technologies are increasingly shaping each other, and the future of North Carolina's economy.
Who should attend:
Founders and builders in blockchain and AI, investors and VCs, policymakers and advocates for emerging tech policy, and anyone plugged into the Carolinas' tech and innovation community.
What to expect:
Informative and engaging keynotes, panels, and curated programming exploring blockchain and AI, a candidate forum spotlighting pro-innovation leaders running for office, a showcase of leading projects and sponsors at this technological intersection, and networking with the Carolinas' leaders in blockchain and emerging tech ecosystem. Visit Cryptolina.io for the latest agenda.
