Before every event season, you pick the conferences and manage the dates and deadlines. To support you, we built the 2026 Conference Calendar, with major conferences, calendar reminders and merch deadlines.
About the 2026 Conference Calendar
Planning events means thinking months ahead: ordering merch, checking contractors, and registering participants on time. The calendar puts these operational tasks front and center.
For each major conference, we list the show link, location, industry focus, and the major checkpoints you should add to your workstream: order merch, check the statuses of all your contractors, and register participants. Each event also includes a ready-made “add reminders” link to add tasks straight into your calendar and stop remembering things.
What’s inside the calendar?
- A month-by-month list of the significant 2026 events across key industries: iGaming, Blockchain & Crypto, FinTech, Affiliate and others. You’ll find the big shows such as ICE, SiGMA, Money20/20, SBC Summit, and more. This gives you visibility across the shows your team or clients care about.
- Event pages with practical timelines: suggested dates to order event merch, run contractor checks, and finalize participant registration.
- Clickable “Add reminders” links for Google/Apple/ Outlook/ Office 365 calendars so you can import task reminders in one click without manual data entry and typos.
- Pro tips on task timing and logistics, so you can adapt for cross-border shipments, multi-address fulfillment, and last-mile challenges.
Who is the calendar for?
If you’re an Event or Marketing Manager, Head of Partnerships, or anyone responsible for exhibitions and experiential campaigns, this calendar is for you. It’s also useful for Sales and HR teams planning regional meetups or employee events.
How can the Conference Calendar help with event planning?
The event links, reminders, and dates are the same ones we use when planning Swag42 projects for clients — that’s why the Calendar offers useful info event teams need. The 2026 Event Calendar provides the following benefits:
- Event research is done for you. You don’t have to spend hours researching events around the world. We’ve done it for you.
- Operational efficiency. The calendar allows you to add reminders directly to your work calendar and keep tasks in one place.
- Cross-industry view. Compare windows and overlaps between iGaming, FinTech, Blockchain, and other vertical events so you can prioritize spend and travel.
- It’s free and available now. The calendar PDF is ready for download and use.
How to use the Conference Calendar?
