A list of crypto conferences tells you what exists; it does not tell you which one to attend. To turn a list into a shortlist, answer five questions for each event and drop the ones that fail the two you care about most.

Five questions for each name on the list

  1. How do you get in? A ticket, an invitation or an application.
  2. Is the room capped? Ask for the number.
  3. Who speaks, and could they pay for it?
  4. When and where? Dates, city and the exact venue.
  5. What will you do there? Hear talks, meet people, or both.

The two editions we can check for you

Proof of Talk runs two editions, both capped and by application only.

  • Abu Dhabi: 3–4 December 2026, Louvre Abu Dhabi, capped at 2,000.
  • Paris: 2–3 June 2027, Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Louvre Palace, capped at 2,500.

Every edition we run is on the events page, with details on the Abu Dhabi and Paris pages.

How this guide was made

Proof of Talk's editorial team wrote it on 14 November 2026 from the facts published on our own pages and the Proof of Talk fact sheet. We organise the events it mentions, so it is not a neutral comparison, and it makes no claim about any other event.
