Zebu Live is the UK's flagship Web3 summit and the anchor event of London Web3 Week, now in its sixth edition and established as Britain's most important annual gathering for the blockchain and digital assets community. Backed by Dragons' Den investor Steven Bartlett and produced by Web3 marketing agency Flight3, the 2026 edition builds on 2025's 4,500+ in-person attendees across two days at Tobacco Dock. As the UK government advances its ambition to become a global digital assets hub — with the FCA's comprehensive crypto regulatory framework now taking shape — Zebu Live has become the primary forum where UK policy, institutional adoption, and Web3 innovation converge.
