Quantum World Congress 2026
QWC returns in 2026—and we’re raising the bar again. After our inaugural year in Washington, D.C. and three trailblazing years in Tysons, we’re bringing the global quantum ecosystem to College Park: one of the most advanced quantum innovation corridors on Earth. This is where breakthroughs become industries. This is where the next era is being built. And in 2026, you’ll be right at the center of it. We can’t wait to show you around.
Three Days that Will Shape the Next Decade In Innovation
Quantum World Congress returns September 22–24, 2026 at The Hotel at the University of Maryland — anchored inside one of the strongest quantum ecosystems on the planet. From global keynotes to commercialization showcases, this is where research, policy, investment, and industry collide to define what comes next.
