A Vision for a Global Digital Economy
The conference targets a diverse spectrum of attendees from high school and college students and tech enthusiasts to legislative staff, professionals, and retirees. By integrating AI and Blockchain education, the event aims to equip Maryland’s workforce and residents with the tools needed to navigate an increasingly decentralized digital economy.
“Maryland is continuing to step onto the global stage as a leader in the digital revolution,” said Jacqueline Cooper, Co-Founder of the Maryland Blockchain Association. “At Maryland BlockchAIn Conference and Bootcamp, we are bridging the gap between localized education and the global investment landscape. This conference and bootcamp serve as a launchpad for all age students and professionals to lead in a decentralized world, providing them the tools to thrive in the future global workforce.”
Exhibiting and Scholarship Opportunities
To foster an inclusive environment, the Maryland Blockchain Association has announced that scholarships are available for students and educators to ensure financial barriers do not prevent the next generation of innovators from attending.
Furthermore, the Exhibitor Hall will serve as a centerpiece and marketplace for the five-day event. Organizations specializing in DeFi, RegTech, AI-Blockchain hybrids, and workforce development are invited to showcase their solutions to a diverse audience of decision-makers and talent. Early bird tickets are now available, offering significant savings for those who register before the general sale.
Empowering the Next Generation
A core pillar of the 2026 initiative is professional development. As industries undergo rapid digital transformation, the partnership between the Maryland Blockchain Association and Blockchain Wire ensures that these critical educational resources reach a global audience.
