Hong Kong, 18th March 2026 ZEX PR WIRE — The Hong Kong Web3 Festival just made a move that the blockchain community will be talking about for weeks. The festival has officially announced that SNZ will serve as a Co-organizer at its highly anticipated 2026 edition — and if you know anything about SNZ’s track record, you understand why this partnership carries real weight.
SNZ: More Than Just a Crypto Investment Firm
Let’s talk about SNZ for a moment, because they deserve more than a one-line introduction.
Founded in 2014 — which, in crypto years, practically makes them ancient — SNZ is a crypto-native, research-driven investment company with a portfolio that spans over 200 projects. But here’s what sets them apart from the typical venture capital crowd: SNZ never just wrote checks and walked away. From day one, their team embedded themselves in the communities they backed, rolled up their sleeves, and got involved in the hard work of incubation and ecosystem building.
That kind of long-term thinking is rare in an industry that often prizes speed over substance. SNZ has quietly been one of the most consistent builders in the space, nurturing projects through market cycles that shook out plenty of fair-weather investors. Over more than a decade, they’ve built genuine credibility — not just a portfolio spreadsheet.
Now, they’re bringing that energy directly to the Hong Kong Web3 Festival as a co-organizer. This isn’t just a sponsorship — it’s a seat at the table.

The Festival That Keeps Raising the Bar
If you haven’t been following the Hong Kong Web3 Festival, here’s your catch-up.
Co-hosted by Wanxiang Blockchain Labs and HashKey Group, and organized by W3ME, the festival has been Asia’s premier crypto conference since its launch in 2023. Each year, it pulls together the most influential voices in blockchain, DeFi, crypto regulation, NFTs, and emerging Web3 infrastructure — not for hollow panel discussions, but for the kind of substantive, policy-shaping conversations that actually move the industry forward.
The track record is genuinely impressive. Across three editions, the festival has welcomed over 100,000 cumulative visitors, hosted more than 1,200 speakers, featured 350+ exhibitors, and organized over 400 side events. These numbers aren’t marketing fluff — they reflect years of earned trust from a global community that keeps coming back because the festival consistently delivers.
What Makes 2026 Different
Hong Kong Web3 Festival 2026 runs from April 20 to 23 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre — one of Asia’s most iconic event venues, and fitting for a conference of this scale.
This year’s edition is on track to be the most ambitious yet. The speaker lineup will grow to up to 400 voices covering every dimension of the Web3 universe — protocol developers, institutional investors, regulators, founders, and futurists. Whatever corner of the crypto ecosystem you occupy, there will be conversations engineered for you.
Perhaps the most telling signal of how far this festival has come is who’s now showing up from outside the crypto world. Nearly 1,000 executives and corporate decision-makers from traditional finance and real-economy industries have already registered. Banks, asset managers, enterprise technology leaders — they’re here because they can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines of the Web3 conversation.
That convergence of crypto-native and traditional finance is exactly what elevates the festival from a great conference to a genuinely transformative platform.
Why Hong Kong Still Matters for Web3
There’s a reason this event is held in Hong Kong and not anywhere else.
Few cities in the world can claim Hong Kong’s combination of attributes: a deeply established global financial infrastructure, a progressive (and evolving) regulatory environment for digital assets, direct access to Mainland China’s massive market, and strong cultural and economic ties to both the East and the West. For Web3, that cocktail of factors is extraordinarily valuable.
The Hong Kong Web3 Festival was built to leverage exactly this positioning — serving as a bridge between the enormous market potential of China and the global momentum of Web3 innovation. Attendees don’t just get great panels; they get access to a genuinely unique intersection of capital, policy, and technology that no other city in the world can quite replicate.
With SNZ now joining as co-organizer, the 2026 edition adds yet another layer of depth — connecting the festival’s global reach with SNZ’s decade-long network of builders, founders, and institutional relationships across the crypto landscape.
