Side-Event Opportunity Map
Where a Mumbai side event fits in 2026.
Devcon Week — Oct 31 to Nov 6
Four crypto conferences in seven days. The India Blockchain & AI Tour on 31 October, IBW at the Fairmont on 1–2 November, Devcon at Jio World Centre from the 3rd, and Unchained Summit over its last two days. Seven evenings, one global crypto audience in town.
March in BKC — Mar 13 to 22
ETHMumbai first, then the Global Esports Games finals and Lakmé Fashion Week on the same four days, both in Bandra Kurla Complex.
January’s Big Weekends
The Tata Mumbai Marathon on the 18th, Lollapalooza at Mahalaxmi Racecourse a week later, then Kala Ghoda from the 31st. Three public audiences in two weeks, which suits sponsorship and brand hospitality more than a conference.
The Fintech Fortnight
Money Expo India on 29–30 August, then Global Fintech Fest from 8 September, both at Jio World Centre. Brokers and trading platforms first, then regulators, banks and payment companies.
Four Gaming Weekends
Esports finals in March, Comic Con in May, GamingCon Bharat in October and Navi Mumbai Comic Con in late November. Fan weekends, which suit a game or product launch better than a conference format.
One Complex, Most of the Year
From IIJS Signature in January to Devcon in November, nine of the twenty dates on this page are held at Jio World Centre in BKC, including Lakmé Fashion Week, Comic Con, Global Fintech Fest and InfoComm India.
