CryptoXR 2026 brings together blockchain, Bitcoin, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence in an expanded edition with over ten thousand expected visitors and more than six thousand square meters of exhibition space.
The heart of French tech: CryptoXR 2026 in Auxerre
Auxerre is gearing up to host one of the biggest tech gatherings of the year. From January 15 to 18, 2026, CryptoXR returns with a more ambitious, broader, and visionary edition. The event now stands as the meeting point between blockchain, Bitcoin, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence. An explosive mix that reflects the evolution of the sector: innovation is no longer confined to Web3, but extends to AI, automation, digital sovereignty, and new uses that are already shaping our daily lives.
A scaling-up event
CryptoXR 2026 doesn’t hold back. Over 10,000 visitors are expected, a record. The exhibition spaces have been expanded: over 6,000 m² to accommodate more than 70 stands spread across blockchain, Web3, and an area entirely dedicated to artificial intelligence. A strategic choice: it’s impossible today to talk about innovation without mentioning generative algorithms, automation, open models, and AI applied to digital industries.
A program for everyone
The event aims wide: over 100 speakers, more than 30 workshops, numerous media presence, and a strong direction to make tech accessible. Professionals, investors, students, creators, the curious: each will find content tailored to their level. CryptoXR seeks the right balance, without losing ambition.
Innovations that will make a mark
The organizers have focused on the experience. The VIP area has been redesigned to offer privileged moments for partners, speakers, and investors. Exclusive keynotes, targeted meetings, high-quality networking: the goal is clear, strengthening the connections that structure the ecosystem.
A modernized TV platform will broadcast live interviews, analysis, and debriefs. A way to showcase the event far beyond Burgundy-Franche-Comté.
And then there’s the January 18th after-party, scheduled from noon to midnight, to close four days of digital excitement. CryptoXR not only spreads crypto culture but also brings it to life.
CryptoXR’s DNA remains intact
The event retains its identity: conviviality, accessibility, openness. Tickets remain affordable: 20€ for the two days of the event (January 16 and 17), 10€ for students. A rarity for a tech event of this scale.
This approach stems from a strong belief: innovation must come out of major cities. Auxerre embodies this idea of geographical decentralization, echoing technological decentralization. A medium-sized city that becomes the stage for a national debate on the future of Web3 and AI.
Logistics, practicalities, and atmosphere
Auxerrexpo will welcome visitors with extended hours, from 12 pm to 2 am, even later on Saturdays. Food trucks, local products, regional wines, relaxation areas: the CryptoXR atmosphere is as festive as it is professional. A before-party will take place on the evening of January 15, bringing together officials, sponsors, and VIPs.
Free shuttles will run continuously from the Auxerre Saint-Gervais station to simplify access.
CryptoXR 2026 promises to be one of the most unifying events in French tech: a hybrid, family-friendly, festive, and future-focused gathering.
