The Bittensor community’s highly anticipated Exploit Summit, originally set for March 30-31, 2026, at The Midway in San Francisco, has been rescheduled to fall 2026 and moved to a location outside the United States. The decision stems from travel restrictions preventing key speakers, panelists, and keynotes from attending the event in person.
According to the organizers, the move ensures the summit can fully represent the ecosystem’s global diversity without compromise. Ticket sales, which went live on January 16, were paused upon realizing the extent of the travel issues.
Key Details from the Announcement
- Refunds: All purchased tickets will be refunded in full automatically—no action required from buyers.
- New Event Plans: The full summit will be reorganized outside the US this fall.
- Interim Gathering: A community event will still take place in San Francisco on the original dates (March 30-31) for those who had already made travel arrangements. Details on this gathering are expected within a few days.
The team expressed regret over the disruption, especially for attendees who booked flights and accommodations, but emphasized their commitment to delivering “Bittensor’s biggest and best conference yet.”
Community reactions on X have been mixed but understanding, with users citing U.S. political situations and travel challenges as contributing factors.
