About Blockchain Central UNGA

GBBC’s 8th Annual Blockchain Central UNGA, scheduled for September 25, 2025, in New York City alongside the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, is a premier in-person convening hosted by the Global Blockchain Business Council at the UN Joint Staff Pension Fund offices. This high-profile summit brings together thought leaders and changemakers from the Blockchain Technology and business sectors to showcase how decentralized technologies can accelerate progress toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With a carefully curated program of panels, roundtables, and networking opportunities, the event spotlights solution-oriented blockchain applications — from digital identity and inclusive finance to ethical supply chains and climate action — reinforcing GBBC’s commitment to education, standards, and people-centered innovation

The event is organized by the Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) — the biggest group in the world that supports the blockchain industry.

At this event, people come together to talk about how blockchain can help make the world better. These people include tech leaders, government officials, investors, founders, and global thinkers.
