Proof of Talk 2026 | 107 Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris, France

Über Proof of Talk 2026

Proof of Talk is a premier global summit for Web3 leaders, investors, founders, policymakers, and innovators — designed as a high-trust environment where meaningful conversations actually happen. Hosted on 2–3 June 2026 at the Louvre in Paris, the event brings together top-tier voices shaping the future of blockchain, digital assets, tokenisation, and the convergence of AI with decentralised technologies.

Across two days, attendees immerse themselves in curated roundtables, executive-only dialogues, fireside conversations, VIP lunches, and high-quality one-to-one networking. The focus goes beyond hype, shifting toward governance, real adoption, sustainable growth models, institutional integration, and how Web3 infrastructure will evolve in the next wave of digital transformation.

A key highlight is Proof of Pitch, where standout Web3 startups present to global VCs and strategic funds, backed by AI-driven evaluation insights. Whether you're building at the frontier, investing in next-gen protocols, or shaping policy for the digital economy — Proof of Talk offers a rare platform to connect with decision-makers and move the industry forward.
