Washington, D.C. - February 18, 2026 - The Government Blockchain Association (GBA) will host its 2026 U.S. Blockchain Showcase on March 2, 2026, in Washington, D.C., convening policymakers, program managers, and public-sector administrators from more than 70 government offices around the world.
[Complimentary registration for the one-day event is still available. Register here]
The one-day event will bring together federal, state, local, and international government representatives who have registered specifically to explore how blockchain technology can help prevent fraud, waste, and abuse while increasing efficiency, accountability, and transparency in public-sector systems.
This strong government participation reflects growing demand for practical modernization tools that safeguard taxpayer resources and strengthen public trust.
A Government-Focused Agenda on Accountability and Modernization
The program will feature the release of GBA’s policy report, “Modernizing Systems with Blockchain to Prevent Fraud, Waste, and Abuse in Government.” Sessions throughout the day will focus on actionable, real-world use cases that address core public-sector challenges, including:
-
Transparent tracking of grants and benefits distribution
-
Procurement integrity and automated compliance
-
Secure digital identity and credential verification
-
Immutable audit trails for financial oversight
-
Cross-agency data coordination and reporting
Unlike purely theoretical discussions, the Showcase emphasizes production-ready solutions and measurable outcomes. Government officials will have the opportunity to engage directly with technologists and subject-matter experts to evaluate implementation pathways.
Direct Engagement Between Policymakers and Innovators
The event is designed to foster dialogue between legislative offices, agency leaders, technology providers, and standards bodies. Participants will explore regulatory considerations, interoperability frameworks, cybersecurity alignment, and responsible adoption strategies.
By concentrating the program into a single day, GBA aims to create a focused, high-impact environment where decision-makers can gain practical insights and establish meaningful partnerships.
Evening Reception: Spies Across Time
Following the day’s sessions, attendees will gather for the themed networking reception “Spies Across Time.” This engaging evening event encourages deeper discussion among government leaders, cybersecurity professionals, and innovators in a setting designed to inspire conversation about intelligence modernization, secure systems, and the future of digital governance.
Until Friday, February 21, a special offer is available for those wishing to attend the “Spies Across Time” evening reception: because every spy needs a trusted accomplice, tickets purchased by this date include a companion ticket at 50% off with code DrWatson50, subject to remaining availability.
