Quantum World Congress 2026 Venue & travel

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.
