TicoBlockchain 2026 To Take Place On May 14 In San José, Opening Costa Rica Tech Week

TicoBlockchain 2026 is scheduled to take place on May 14 at the Barceló San José Hotel, serving as the opening event for Costa Rica Tech Week, a broader series of technology and innovation-focused gatherings running from May 14 to May 24.

The event, now in its sixth edition, is being held amid continued growth in digital asset adoption across Latin America. Data from Chainalysis indicates that the region processed nearly $1.5 trillion in cryptocurrency transaction volume between July 2022 and June 2025, with stablecoins playing an increasing role in payments, remittances, and everyday financial activity.

The 2026 program is designed to examine practical applications of blockchain, Web3, and fintech, with sessions addressing topics such as financial services, asset tokenization, and evolving regulatory frameworks.

The agenda includes a combination of presentations, panel discussions, workshops, and pitch sessions, along with networking opportunities intended to connect companies, developers, and public sector stakeholders.
