TON canceled its Gateway Dubai conference, scheduled for May 1 and 2, 2026, due to the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East.
The organization announced the decision on X, stating that the reason was “the conflict in the Middle East and the security conditions in the area of the United Arab Emirates.” The event was aimed at bringing together builders and developers from the TON ecosystem.
The geopolitical context behind the cancellation worsened after the United States and Israel launched attacks against Iran, prompting the country to retaliate with missiles and drones targeting the United Arab Emirates. Dubai, the country’s largest city and a preferred destination for crypto entrepreneurs, absorbed most of the impacts, according to The Guardian. The city is also facing severe disruptions to transportation and international travel services.
The organization stated it is evaluating different formats to hold a Gateway event before the end of the year. Meanwhile, Token2049, another major crypto conference also scheduled in Dubai for next month, confirmed it will proceed as planned, according to Fortune.
