Hack Seasons Cannes 2026 brings together the sharpest minds in blockchain for a full day of high-signal conversations, hands-on workshops, and genuine connection — at Canopy by Hilton Cannes on April 1.
The agenda spans Zero Knowledge, L2, Modular Blockchains, DePIN, and beyond, with a lineup of industry titans whose work is actively reshaping the decentralized world. Tech talks and keynotes tackle the most pressing market trends head-on, while community-driven workshops put real tools in the hands of builders.
Panel discussions cut through the noise with the kind of candor that only comes from people deep in the work. An open hacker spirit runs through every corner of the day — from the main stage to the side conversations that end up changing the direction of a project.
Founders, hackers, investors, and bold thinkers all find their moment here — on stage, in workshops, and across one of the most memorable networking floors in the Web3 calendar.
