The Abia Web3 & Digital Economy Conference (AWDEC 2026) will take place on August 7–8, 2026, at the Nobik International Event Centre. This premier technology and innovation gathering highlights Abia State — particularly the commercial hub of Aba — as an emerging force in blockchain, digital entrepreneurship, and web3 adoption. With the theme “Building the Digital Economy,” AWDEC 2026 is designed to connect policymakers, innovators, investors, and talent to accelerate Africa’s transition into a decentralized, technology-driven economy. The conference emphasizes practical initiatives such as workshops, blockchain literacy programs, startup showcases, and policy dialogues that empower youth and underrepresented communities to actively participate in Africa’s digital transformation.

Over two impactful days, participants can expect keynote sessions, masterclasses, hands-on developer workshops, panel discussions, and curated networking opportunities with over 2,000 attendees from Nigeria and beyond. AWDEC 2026 will showcase the entrepreneurial “Aba-Made” spirit while facilitating direct connections between founders, investors, and partners to drive tangible ecosystem growth. Convened by Raphael Omochor, Founder of Block-Scholars Africa, the conference offers a strategic platform for thought leadership, collaboration, and measurable impact, positioning Abia State as a central hub in the continent’s emerging “Silicon Delta” corridor.
