Ethereum enthusiasts, industry leaders, and innovators from around the world are set to gather in Cannes this summer for EthCC[8], Europe’s largest annual Ethereum conference, taking place from 30th June to 3rd July at the iconic Palais des Festivals et des Congrès.

This year’s edition marks a major milestone not only for the event itself — being hosted in Cannes for the first time — but also for Ethereum’s position in the broader financial and technological landscape. With major players like Robinhood, PayPal, and Worldcoin stepping forward as key supporters, EthCC[8] underscores the growing mainstream confidence in Ethereum’s evolving infrastructure.

The conference comes at a particularly exciting time for Ethereum, as anticipation builds around the upcoming Pectra upgrade, scheduled for later this year. Designed to significantly enhance scalability and efficiency, Pectra is expected to usher in a new era for the network, making it faster, more accessible, and better integrated into global financial systems. Analysts are already speculating that the improvements could trigger a bullish trend, further cementing Ethereum’s role at the core of the next digital revolution.

EthCC[8] promises an impressive lineup of speakers, including Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin, Merlin Egalite, Co-Founder of Morpho, Ed Felten, Co-Founder of Offchain Labs (the team behind Arbitrum), Andrew O’Neill, Managing Director at S&P Global Ratings, and Adam Levine, Senior Vice President of Corporate Development at Fireblocks. Their participation highlights the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of Ethereum’s development, bridging blockchain innovation with traditional finance and beyond.

Organised by Ethereum France — a nonprofit previously known as ASSETH — the conference aims to democratise blockchain knowledge across French-speaking countries and make Ethereum’s potential accessible to all. With workshops, keynote addresses, and extensive networking opportunities, EthCC[8] will once again serve as a catalyst for the ideas and partnerships shaping the future of decentralised technology.

For those passionate about the future of finance, technology, and decentralised innovation, EthCC[8] in Cannes is set to be an unmissable highlight of the 2025 calendar.
