Nov 20–21, 2026 · UT Austin, Texas
UBC started as a bet — that students could put on a conference serious enough for the industry to show up. Two years later, we've hosted over 1,000 attendees from 100+ universities, brought in speakers from the top protocols, VCs, and research labs, and built a community that extends well past the two days.
UBC 2026 returns to Austin this November. Bigger stage, better lineup, same energy.
November 20–21, 2026 · Doors open 9:00 AM · UT Austin
Featured speakers from UBC 2025. 2026 lineup coming soon.

Trip to @MBC_Conference really was one for the books! I’ve been to 10+ conferences throughout my web3 journey but MBC really was on a whole other level. Huge shoutout to @Evsolomon5 & @redempshawne for putting this event together and allowing @ttu_waa to pull up. This is the

this was so much more than a college student conference. cannot say enough how valuable it is to engage directly with young people building in crypto (and the other people who like talking to young builders)
