CV Summit is Switzerland's largest institutional conference for digital assets and financial AI, bringing together asset managers, institutional investors, blockchain developers, regulators and fintech leaders for two days at Kongresshaus Zürich. The 2026 edition, held on 29-30 September 2026, covered the convergence of tokenisation of capital markets, institutional DeFi, stablecoins, digital custody, AI-powered financial systems and programmable financial infrastructure. CV Labs, the organiser, positions the event at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets, with a particular emphasis on institutional-grade adoption rather than retail crypto. As of 31 October 2026, the organiser had not announced the next edition; its website offers a waitlist for 2027 tickets, with no dates or city given.
Programme themes across three stages and 1,000+ sq m of exhibition space:
The summit targets institutional participants: asset managers, family offices, fund managers, investment banks, fintech companies, blockchain developers, legal and compliance professionals, and regulators. The organisers offer complimentary access for qualified institutional investors and allocators (application required), reflecting the event's goal of concentrating institutional buying power in the room.
Speakers at the 2026 edition: René Raeber (CTO Switzerland, Microsoft), Sandy Kaul (Head of Innovation, Franklin Templeton), Cassie Craddock (Managing Director UK & Europe, Ripple), Oscar Flores (CEO, UNBLOCK). Presenting partner: Franklin Templeton.
Institutional finance. The programme, speaker profiles and ticket pricing (at the 2026 edition: standard CHF 699, VIP CHF 1,999, with free access for qualified allocators) all indicate an institutional orientation. Retail crypto speculation and consumer-facing topics are outside the scope of the conference.
CV Summit is deliberately positioned as a finance-first event, not a developer or crypto culture event. The focus is the transformation of financial infrastructure through tokenisation and digital assets, with AI as an accelerator, not an end topic in itself.
