Proof of Talk presents — the investor room
The room where capital meets conviction.
Every June at the Louvre, the most influential Web3 investors in the world gather in one curated room. Franklin Templeton. State Street. KKR. J.P. Morgan. Dragonfly. Haun Ventures.Plus the family offices, sovereign capital, and crypto-native funds you don’t meet at a booth. 100% sold out 2024 & 2025.
The Thesis I.
For those whose capital speaks for itself.
The room is designed for those who don’t need introductions — but find value in proximity. The conversations are off the record. The format is intimate. The outcomes are the kind that don’t get announced on stage.
“If the other summits are where noise gathers, Proof of Talk is where the next round quietly begins.”
Who is already in the room II.
A curated room. Not a trade show.
$18T+ under management in one room. Dozens more prefer not to be listed. Below: the funds that anchor the 2026 investor floor — Tier-1 asset managers, sovereign banks, crypto-native VCs, and protocol treasuries. Behind them, allocators and family offices who hold their seats off the public record.
Who is on stage III.
The voices Europe flies in to hear.
Proof of Talk doesn’t pay speakers. They come because the room comes. Twelve of 110+ confirmed — the full programme is announced in waves.

The highest concentration of institutional capital, regulatory authority, and investigative journalism ever assembled at a single Web3 event.

Policy.
