BlockCon Global has confirmed the speaker roster for its 2026 executive business retreat, a four-day program dedicated to the infrastructure layer of the digital economy. Registration is open across three access tiers ahead of the November 25–28, 2026 gathering at Barceló Bávaro Grand Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
The retreat is set to convene attendees from more than 60 countries, half of them C-level executives, alongside 50 curated speakers and over 90 represented companies. That composition is the point: the agenda's core subjects — stablecoins, tokenization, cross-border payment rails and regulatory architecture — sit at the intersection of capital, technology and government, where progress in the digital asset industry typically requires all three at the same table.
Gulf capital anchors the program. Shaikh Ali Sultan Al Nuaimi of the Royal Family of the Emirate of Ajman, BOF Investments and Ajman Bank will be joined by Imad Al-Abdulgader, Partner at DGA–Albright Stonebridge Group; Sarah Abuagela of Ceras Ventures; and Danish Chotani of Burj Financial. Gulf participation reflects the region's growing footprint in the sector, with jurisdictions such as the UAE having introduced dedicated virtual asset frameworks in recent years.
Regulatory and public-sector figures fill out the roster. Camila Santana of Revolut, a regulatory expert and former supervisor in Colombia, will appear alongside Julio César Valentín, Superintendent of Insurance of the Dominican Republic, and Senator Mario Ishii of Buenos Aires Province, among others. The spread across Colombia, the Dominican Republic and Argentina tracks with the event's stated focus on regulatory architecture and cross-border payment rails.
The institutional and infrastructure layer will be represented by Tomás Pérez Quevedo, Co-Founder at Makachain; Geraldine Pacheco, Account Executive for Latin America and the Caribbean at Chainalysis; and Donald Lavoile, founder of Venturis13 Global Holdings. Chainalysis, a blockchain analytics provider widely used by institutions and public agencies for compliance work, anchors the on-chain intelligence angle on the roster.
“Convergence is not something you announce. It is something you produce,” said Raymond Ratti, CEO and Co-Founder of BlockCon Global. “A central bank supervisor, a Gulf investor, a compliance architect and an infrastructure founder each hold one part of the same system. BlockCon exists to put those parts in the same room, for four days, under conditions where a conversation becomes a decision.”
The event is built around what organizers describe as decision density — the concentration of decision-making power in the room. The agenda spans stablecoins and digital payments, tokenization real-world assets, prediction markets, iGaming infrastructure, regulatory architecture and cross-border payment rails, delivered through closed-door sessions, business roundtables, a Casino Experience and the Cigar & Rum Room. Formats of this kind reflect an industry shift away from awareness-building panels and toward settings where commercial and regulatory terms can be discussed directly.
Three access tiers are available, with pricing starting at $195. Registration is open at blockcon.co/tickets. With the roster now public, attention turns toward the November gathering itself and what emerges from its closed-door sessions — developments readers can follow via the organizer's site.
