ETHCC 2025: The unmissable Web3 event is coming to Cannes

The crypto ecosystem has its major events. And among them, the Ethereum Community Conference (ETHCC) occupies a prominent place. After several successful Parisian editions, the next edition of the ETHCC will set up camp on the Croisette in Cannes in early July 2025. A strategic change of scenery for an event that continues to grow in stature.

What exactly is ETHCC?

The Ethereum Community Conference, or ETHCC, is the largest European community event focused on the Ethereum ecosystem. Organized by the Ethereum France association, this annual event brings together developers, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, institutions, and enthusiasts for conferences, workshops, and meetings.

The watchwords? Open source, exchange, education. ETHCC is much more than a tech show: it's a space for expression of all the ideas and innovations shaping the future of Web3.

Who is participating?

ETHCC attracts the biggest names in crypto and blockchain, but remains fiercely committed to its community DNA. Recurring participants include representatives from organizations such as:

• Ethereum Foundation
• ConsenSys
• Polygon, StarkWare, Arbitrum, Optimism
• Chainlink, Aave, Uniswap
• And hundreds of European and international Web3 startups

But what makes the event so rich are also the independent developers, the students, the artists, the regulators... and increasingly, the cities.

Cannes 2025: A strategic choice

This year, Cannes will host the event—a powerful symbol. The city, famous for its Film Festival, has set itself a bold goal: to become one of the first French cities to massively adopt blockchain. In line with the ambitions of its mayor, David Lisnard, Cannes wants to experiment with Web3 in concrete use cases: public services, tourism, local payments, digital identity, etc. By summer 2025, the city aims to become a model for large-scale cryptocurrency payment adoption. And hosting the ETHCC is a powerful lever to accelerate this momentum.

What to discover on site?

Beyond the conferences, ETHCC is also:

• Side events organized by the biggest Web3 projects throughout the city
• Practical workshops for coding, testing, and experimenting
• A hackathon where the best ideas are born in one weekend
• An exceptional setting: the Palais des Festivals, the beach, the rooftops... and a unique atmosphere combining tech and the Mediterranean

ETHCC 2025 in Cannes promises to be the European Web3 event not to be missed. At the intersection of technological innovation and local adoption, it's a unique opportunity for all Web3 stakeholders and proof that the crypto revolution is no longer reserved for a select few.
