If your impression of tech expos is still stuck on formal forums, dense slide decks, and jargon-heavy presentations, FUTUREMODE 2026 might just reshape how you think about tech events.
"Taipei Blockchain Week" is rebranding this year under a brand-new name,"FUTUREMODE 2026", making its bold debut. The event will run from Friday, September 4, 2026 to Sunday, September 6, 2026 at the Taipei Flora Expo Dome in Yuanshan. This year's event centers on AI x Brands x Culture x Digital Assets x Emerging Tech , extending into developer ecosystems, lifestyle tech, digital entertainment, health and fitness, brand experiences, and urban culture—transforming tech conferences from purely industry exchange into something that touches everyday life.
Unlike traditional tech expos centered on forums, exhibition booths, and industry networking, FUTUREMODE 2026 combines forums, a hackathon, and diverse experiences—from AI interactions, F1 simulators, and AI cocktail machines to sports, food, and DJ music—letting people feel technology in ways closer to everyday life.
From Taipei Blockchain Week to FUTUREMODE: Tech Expands into Broader Lifestyle Applications
Over the past few years, Taipei Blockchain Week successfully rallied Asia's Web3 community, drawing entrepreneurs, investors, developers, and industry leaders from home and abroad to Taiwan. This year's official rebrand to FUTUREMODE signals that the event is no longer confined to blockchain and Web3—it now curates AI, fintech, lifestyle tech, digital entertainment, health and fitness, and urban culture into one comprehensive program.
This shift also reflects the growing convergence of technology and everyday life. AI is no longer just a tool for engineers or corporate decision-makers—it's moving into content creation, workflows, financial services, consumer experiences, and hardware applications. Web3, too, is expanding beyond cryptocurrency and trading markets into digital identity, asset ownership, community economies, and new financial infrastructure.
As technology draws closer to daily life, FUTUREMODE 2026 aims to help participants from all backgrounds understand the future in more intuitive, engaging ways. This year's event unfolds around four core pillars—Learn (knowledge exchange), Build (hands-on co-creation), Experience (immersive experiences), and Recharge (mind-body rejuvenation)—spanning learning, hands-on collaboration, immersive experiences, and wellness, presenting an entirely different take on what a tech event can be.
Learn: From Tech Trends to Lifestyle Proposals—Watching the Future Step Into Everyday Life
FUTUREMODE 2026 will feature three main content stages, including FUTUREMODE Stage、Onboard Stage (presented by Ourbit )), and Workshop Stage (presented by BenQ )). Over the three days, the event expects to bring together over 100 speakers, 40+ keynote talks, fireside chats and panel discussions, plus 30+ workshops and product showcases。
Beyond focusing on tech trends like AI and digital assets, this year's agenda also expands heavily into the creator economy, digital content, sports, health, art, the future of work, and lifestyle. From how content creation shapes culture and business, to how AI is reshaping work and creativity, to the future of human performance, health tech, and digital art—technology becomes more than an industry topic, but part of everyone's daily life.
This year's speaker lineup spans tech, finance, creative industries, entertainment, sports, and startups, featuring representatives from companies and brands including AMD, Google, Mastercard, MirrorMirror, and Taiwan Mobile, who will share how technology is redefining work, creation, consumption, and lifestyle—giving attendees, whether tech-savvy or not, a chance to see the future from multiple perspectives.
Build: Turning Visions of Future Living into Experiences You Can Actually Use
Beyond the forums and exhibition areas, FUTUREMODE 2026 will also launch the BUILDMODE Hackathon, partnering with major Taiwanese developer community SITCON, expected to draw over 500 developers, designers, entrepreneurs, and students to participate together.
This year's hackathon centers on six major theme tracks: AI Agents and Automation, Everyday AI, Future of Work, AI × Creative Tech, Social Impact, and Open Innovation—covering everything from work efficiency, content creation, and healthcare to education, sustainability, and entertainment experiences, all focused on how technology truly integrates into daily life. Participating teams will build a product prototype in a short time frame, receive guidance from industry mentors, showcase their results live, and compete for awards and future development opportunities.
For many, a hackathon might seem like a technical competition — but it's more like a lab for future living. The innovations that could reshape how we work, create, and even the products and services we use every day, have a chance to emerge here, giving participants an early glimpse of what life looks like next.
Experience: From AI Cocktails to DJ Sets, Beyblades to Concerts — Where Tech Meets Culture
One of the highlights of FUTUREMODE 2026 is extending tech beyond the stage and agenda into on-site experiences. This year's event features multiple interactive zones, letting attendees feel how technology weaves into everyday life through games, music, food, and sports — not just talks and networking.
The Energy Zone will be brought to you by Red Bull LUKA featuring live DJ sets and a chill-out lounge, plus a Red Bull F1 racing simulator on-site. There will also beCHAOZ Technologies's AI cocktail mixer, turning artificial intelligence into a drink you can actually taste.
On top of that, the event will bring in even more community and entertainment experiences, including NOXCAT 's Beyblade Zone with competitions, and Deepcoin 's badminton court and KOL challenge matches, plus a digital art gallery and interactive photo booths. From September 4 to 5, the event will also roll out Savor 's "Off-Beat Paradise," blending food, art, music, tech, and social connection to bring the tech event closer to city life.
Recharge: From Ice Baths to Run Clubs, Tech Events Need Recharging Too
If traditional tech conferences tend to leave you absorbing information nonstop from morning to night, FUTUREMODE 2026 wants to do things differently this time — giving attendees a chance to take care of their bodies amid all the high-intensity networking.
This year's event also features a Wellness Zone, giving attendees a space to shift gears between packed forums, networking sessions, and experiences. On-site will be Supercover 's ice bath experience,F45 's group fitness classes, sports competitions, and interactive games, along with Blackwater and NID 's curated run club and fitness training zone, plus Tokuyo 's massage experience zone.
For FUTUREMODE 2026, future living isn't just about how technology accelerates the world — it's also about how people can find recovery, balance, and a way to recharge amid the fast pace of everyday life.
Foodcourt: From Fuhang Soy Milk to Bubble Tea, Bringing Taiwanese Flavors to the Tech World
Beyond forums and experience zones, FUTUREMODE 2026 is also bringing Taiwanese food into the event. This year's Foodcourt will feature daily breakfast airdrops, kicking off the three-day event on September 4 with a Fuhang Soy Milk breakfast airdrop.
