Ibom Blockchain Xperience (IBX) 2026 proudly announces its collaboration and continued engagement with Mita School, West Africa’s largest blockchain gathering, scheduled to take place from March 10–14, 2026, in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
Formerly known as Ibom Blockchain Summit (IBS), the transition to Ibom Blockchain Xperience (IBX) marks a significant evolution in scale, ambition, and ecosystem positioning. IBX 2026 represents more than a conference — it is a convergence point for blockchain innovators, developers, startup founders, investors, policymakers, educators, and students across Nigeria and the wider African region.
For Mita School, participation in IBX 2026 reflects a long-standing commitment to blockchain education, Web3 readiness, and ecosystem collaboration.
From IBS to IBX: A New Era of Blockchain Engagement
The previous edition, Ibom Blockchain Summit 2025 (IBS2025), themed “The Odyssey,” brought together over 6,000 participants and established itself as the largest blockchain gathering in the region.
With the 2026 rebranding to Ibom Blockchain Xperience (IBX), the event expands beyond a traditional summit format into a multi-day immersive experience.
This transition reflects:
-
Broader regional ambition
-
Increased developer engagement
-
Expanded startup participation
-
Deeper institutional involvement
-
A continental outlook on Web3 innovation
Mita School recognizes this transformation as a strategic milestone for blockchain growth in Akwa Ibom and West Africa.
Why IBX 2026 Matters for Blockchain Education in Nigeria

-
Encouraging startup innovation
-
Facilitating regulatory dialogue
-
Connecting students to industry leaders
-
Promoting responsible Web3 adoption
For students and aspiring blockchain professionals, IBX provides exposure to real-world applications beyond theoretical learning.
