EthCC[10] Cannes 2027

EthCC[10] is the tenth edition of EthCC, a nonprofit conference built around the Ethereum ecosystem. Its organiser describes it as the longest-running European conference in the industry. The 2027 edition runs from 12 to 15 April in Cannes, France, with Palais des Festivals et des Congrès as its venue. The organiser says every ticket sold goes back into the event. The conference is aimed at builders, investors, policymakers, institutions and users across Ethereum and the wider digital economy. It runs over four days, with access to every stage on a pass, sponsors on site and an after party, and a week of side events grows up around the main programme. The organiser cites more than 8,000 attendees, over 500 speakers, 150-plus sponsors and partners and more than 200 side events, but the page does not say which edition those figures describe. The 2027 line-up has not been published yet. Topics at earlier editions included AI agents, applied cryptography, DeFi, layer 2 networks, regulation and compliance, tokenisation of real-world assets, security, stablecoins and payments, and zero-knowledge technology. Past speakers include Vitalik Buterin of the Ethereum Foundation, Stani Kulechov of Aave Labs and Patrick Hansen of Circle. The open call for talks asks for proposals on decentralisation, tokenisation, privacy, regulation, infrastructure, responsible AI and institutional adoption. Tickets are sold in four waves, and the Full Pass price rises each time. The €390 early-bird wave has sold out. The Full Pass now costs €590 including VAT until 31 January 2027, then €750 from 1 February to 29 March and €990 from 30 March. Day passes are offered only in the last two waves, at €200 and then €320. A Full Pass covers all four days, catering, swag and the after party while space lasts. Payment works by card, Apple Pay, USDC or ETH, and buyers pick the name shown on their badge. Free student passes (400 places, allocated by draw) and volunteer passes (100 places) open for applications in early 2027. For affiliates and media buyers the fit is indirect. EthCC is a technical and policy-led event centred on Ethereum rather than a traffic or acquisition show, although past editions did run one track on product and marketing. It is most useful for crypto affiliates and publishers who write about DeFi, stablecoins or tokenisation and want to meet the teams behind those products. The side-event week adds room for off-site meetings.
