The highly anticipated MetaForum 2025, a premier event dedicated to the intersection of Web3, AI, and the metaverse, will return for its third edition this September in Lugano, Switzerland. This city, now widely dubbed the “Swiss crypto capital,” is fast becoming a global hub for blockchain innovation.
Organizers announced that Lugano was chosen for its progressive crypto regulations, vibrant blockchain ecosystem, and strategic support from local institutions. The city’s adoption of Bitcoin and Tether as legal tender for municipal payments has already turned heads worldwide.
MetaForum 2025 is expected to draw thousands of attendees, including developers, policymakers, investors, and thought leaders. The event promises three days of keynote speeches, interactive panels, workshops, and immersive metaverse showcases.
A primary focus this year will be on the convergence of decentralized identity, AI-driven governance models, and NFT-based economies. With the rapid evolution of digital experiences, MetaForum aims to map out the future of decentralized internet infrastructure.
Speakers confirmed for the event include pioneers in Ethereum development, Web3 policy experts from the EU, and startup founders exploring AI-DAO integration. The diversity of backgrounds reflects MetaForum’s mission: to foster multidisciplinary collaboration.
Attendees can also expect a showcase of cutting-edge projects, from AI avatars to decentralized gaming ecosystems. Startup competitions and hackathons will offer opportunities for new ventures to gain visibility and investment.
Lugano’s mayor has expressed strong support for the forum, emphasizing its role in positioning the city as a launchpad for next-generation technology. “We are proud to host innovators who are redefining the digital landscape,” he said.
MetaForum’s growing reputation has put it on the same level as other global blockchain summits. Yet it retains a uniquely European flavor—blending high-level discussion with practical innovation.
The choice of Lugano signals a broader trend: as global crypto hubs emerge, cities that embrace regulation, openness, and experimentation are gaining the spotlight.
MetaForum 2025 isn’t just a conference—it’s a signal of what the decentralized world may soon look like. And this year, all eyes will be on Lugano.
