From June 30 to July 3, accomplished by EthCC Week (June 27–July 6), EthCC 2025 welcomes Web3 developers in Cannes, promising the highest concentration of technical depth, innovation, and networking the European Ethereum ecosystem has ever seen.
This year, EthCC 2025 anticipates 6,400+ attendees, 390+ speakers, 64 sponsors, and over 580 side events during EthCC Week. What is EthCC Cannes cooking for those in crypto?
Our team has investigated the top 7 reasons the Ethereum Community Conference should be on your radar.
1. Record-Breaking Scale
Focused on blockchain developers, EthCC 2025 welcomes participants from diverse roles — core protocol developers, DeFi architects, DAO organizers, research academics, legal experts, leaders from Web3 startups, and blockchain investors.
Moreover, the crypto event supports 390+ speakers from the Web3 ecosystem, including project leaders and Web3 founders from Ethereum’s Layer 2 solutions, privacy tech, token security auditors, and governance pioneers. The quantity is staggering, but more so is the quality, giving attendees exposure to concrete, real-world insight on live protocols, tooling strategies, and breakthrough use cases.
2. Cannes: Innovation in the Sun
Cannes combines the prestige of a global crypto event city with the relaxed allure of the Riviera—perfect for building relationships across coffee tables and cocktail receptions.
But the Riviera isn’t just a backdrop—it shapes the vibe. Web3 ideas flow more freely when conversations are held under a Mediterranean sunset. Whether you’re hashing out IRL code solutions on the beach or establishing investment partnerships by the pool, the environment breaks traditional conference vibes and nurtures authentic connections.
3. Built By The Community And For The Community
EthCC is a non-profit event organized by Ethereum France. Unlike many big blockchain conferences that are mainly about making money, this one is focused on helping the Ethereum community. Sponsors help cover the costs, so ticket prices stay low and more people can afford to attend.
Any extra money from the event goes back into blockchain projects that benefit the public, like funding developers, supporting community programs, and running future events. It’s a community-driven conference where everyone works together to help grow and improve Ethereum.
4. Unparalleled Side Events
EthCC Week is a full ecosystem immersion, packed with 580+ side events in 2024 alone. From hackathons solving L2 throughput to DAO governance meetups, the breadth and density of events allow both scheduled and spontaneous collaboration.
The open format allows anyone to initiate events, be they workshops, demos, or after-party roundtables. Whether leading a session or drifting between them, you’re exposed to a rich mix of learning, ideation, and serendipity.

5. It’s All Developer-Centric
EthCC Cannes is designed for Web3 people who actually build things on Ethereum. With over 390 technical talks, it dives deep into topics like how Layer 2 protocols work, new security tools, smart contract design, token models, and decentralized governance. It’s not about marketing—it’s about serious learning and problem-solving.
You can ask questions, test ideas, and even join live coding or debugging sessions. EthCC is a unique chance for Web3 developers to learn, collaborate, and sharpen their skills alongside top people in the Ethereum space.
6. EthVC: Where Real Deals Get Done
EthVC is EthCC’s dedicated investment platform that connects builders with investors, and the results speak for themselves. In 2024, it facilitated over $200 million in funding commitments. The format is dynamic and founder-friendly: private startup deck reviews, live Q&A, mentorship, and fast investor decisions happen right on site.
For Web3 founders building on Ethereum, EthVC is one of the best places in Europe to meet serious, aligned backers ready for investing.
7. Students Are Welcome!
EthCC Cannes is committed to bringing new talent into the Ethereum ecosystem. Students don’t just attend—they actively contribute, often working on open-source projects, joining hackathons, and bringing fresh perspectives to the Ethereum community. That’s why it offers discounted EthCC tickets for students aged 18 and older. By keeping the event affordable, it ensures that the next generation of developers, researchers, designers, and builders have access to the ideas, tools, and networks that can launch their careers.
