FORKOFF runs week-of activations at EthCC 2027 for EU + global crypto founders, post-Brexit UK + EU regulators, and the Mediterranean fund circuit landing in Cannes. Pre-event narrative pre-build, on-site cadence (clipping + KOL + side events on the Croisette), post-event compounding. One operator, one ledger, audit-tracked outcomes.
Most teams sponsor + show up. Some run a side event + hope. FORKOFF runs the activation as a 14-day operating cycle.
The EthCC room compounds in ways no other European event week does. EU MiCA timing + Mediterranean fund density + Croisette side-event geography + regulator presence inside one 4-day window.
6,500+ attendees concentrated along 2 km of the Croisette. Highest founder-per-block density in Europe during EthCC week. Walking distance between every venue, hotel lobby, and beach club that matters.
Mediterranean funds, UK + EU LPs, and EU regulators all in-market for 4 days. Term sheets get drafted on hotel terraces between sessions. Buyer time-to-decision compresses 4x vs. cold outreach over EU Q2.
Post-Brexit UK + EU founders who normally route through London, Paris, Berlin, and Lisbon are all in one 4-day window. EthCC is the one European week where the cluster is reachable in person, multiple times across the week.
European + global press, Twitter / X clusters, and KOL networks all activated in parallel. Every Croisette moment compounds across surfaces. Post-event clip cadence rides the residual attention curve through Q2 for 30 days.
EthCC week breaks into a main-stage program at the Palais des Festivals, a side-event web running every night across the Croisette + Old Port, and a regulator-adjacent track that overlaps the EU MiCA implementation calendar. Activating well means picking the right stripe of the week.
Apr 12 to 15, 2027
Main stage at Palais des Festivals, Cannes. Side-event web concentrated along the Croisette + Old Port + Vieux Cannes. Regulator + fund circles cluster at the Carlton + Martinez.
6,500+ in 2025. 2027 trending higher with EU MiCA implementation pulling regulator-adjacent founders + Mediterranean fund LPs into the same week.

EthCC (Ethereum Community Conference) is the pre-eminent Ethereum + Web3 event in Europe, anchored in Cannes. The 2025 edition drew 6,500+ attendees across the main conference + 180+ side events organized by protocols, VCs, and ecosystems, and the EthCC[9] 2026 edition ran March 30 to April 2 in Cannes. EthCC[10] 2027 marks the conference's 10th edition and returns to the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, on April 12 to April 15, 2027 (per ethcc.io official schedule).
Most teams sponsor + show up + hope. The FORKOFF activation is a 14-day operating cycle: pre-event narrative + intro engineering, on-site cadence + Croisette side-event production + KOL placement, post-event clip cascade + qualified-pipeline record. Same operator, same dashboard, audit-tracked outcomes.
Three tiers: Lite tier (single-track pre-event narrative OR on-site KOL night OR side-event slot), Standard tier (recommended, full week-of presence), Full tier (sponsor-grade with side events + main-stage support + EU policy private dinner). All tiers carry the verified record + qualified-pipeline reporting. Tier scales scope, not the underlying philosophy.
Yes. Standard + Full tiers include FORKOFF-produced side events along the Croisette + Old Port (intimate dinner, moderated panel, founder talk format). We handle venue, invite list, KOL outreach, and on-site recording. Side events are the highest-leverage on-site moment at EthCC. 30 right people in one room beats 3,000 random people in a conference hall.
Yes. FORKOFF has working relationships with EU policy voices, post-Brexit UK regulator-adjacent operators, and Mediterranean fund LPs. Standard tier includes 1 EU + global KOL placement; Full tier extends to 3-5 placements + a private dinner format suited to MiCA + regulatory conversations the main stage cannot host.
Every podcast recorded on-site feeds the clipping pipeline at clips.forkoff.xyz. One 60-min recording produces 8-12 cross-platform clips (X / TikTok / Reels / Shorts), distributed over the 30 days following EthCC. The post-event cadence rides the EU Q2 attention curve through April + May and is what compounds the week's investment.
EthCC week is the one moment in the European calendar where the cluster (EU + UK funds, protocol founders, regulator-adjacent operators, Mediterranean LPs) is in one place at one time. London + Paris are anchor markets year-round, but EthCC week compresses 4 anchor markets into 4 days on the Croisette. Pair the EthCC activation with /gtm/london or /gtm/london for the year-round operating cadence.
Yes. EthCC is one of 8+ events on the FORKOFF event roster. Korea Blockchain Week, Token2049 (Singapore + Dubai), Devcon, Consensus, ETH NYC, ETH India, NFT NYC. Each event has its own activation page with cadence + tier pricing tuned to the event format.
Parent service line. Year-round event roster + activation philosophy.
Bot-screened EU + global KOL placements during EthCC week. Qualified-view tracking.
On-site Croisette recordings feed the clipping pipeline. Post-event cadence compounds.
Beyond EthCC week. Post-Brexit UK + EU GTM playbook + on-ground partner network.

FORKOFF has run activations across 42 events since 2023, per our own operating record, including Korea Blockchain Week, ETHDenver, and Token2049. EthCC is the largest European Ethereum week, and the 2027 edition, EthCC's 10th, runs in Cannes on the French Riviera from April 12 to April 15, drawing a mix of EU-native founders, core protocol contributors, and the global crowd that treats the week as its European anchor. The curated side events we run around it sit between 100 and 250 attendees each, a founder dinner on the coast, a protocol breakfast, a panel timed to the four days the ecosystem is in the south of France. The Cannes plan on this page comes from reps we have actually logged on the ground, not from a reused slide. We have served 150+ brands across that history, and EthCC is one of the few weeks where a European team can host its whole ecosystem without leaving the continent.
EthCC skews Ethereum-native and international. The room is core devs, EU founders, researchers, and the funds that follow protocol work, so credibility is technical and reputational rather than bought. Across our 42-event history the pattern in Cannes held every time: the teams that hosted a genuine contributor gathering out-earned the teams that spent on a sponsor logo. The coastal setting spreads the week across many venues, so a strong invite list matters more than a loud booth. The cadence we run leads with the room the Ethereum crowd actually wants to be in and keeps the sales motion one step behind the substance.
Because we have run the pre-event to post-event loop dozens of times, an EthCC engagement does not start from a blank page. We know when to open the narrative so it peaks the week the ecosystem lands in Cannes, which side-event format fits an Ethereum-native room, and how to keep the follow-up alive after everyone leaves the coast. The full method sits on the event management service page, the calendar of every activation window lives at the events hub, and if your team is also planning the core-dev week later in the year, the Devcon breakdown runs the same math for the deepest protocol room on the calendar.
