European Blockchain Convention

EBC's main draw is the networking infrastructure: 10,000+ 1:1 meetings facilitated through their app across 6,000+ attendees from 70+ countries. The deal-making density is exceptional for a European event. Stani Kulechov (Aave) has keynoted; the programming covers MiCA compliance, tokenization, and institutional adoption with a Southern European flavor.

EBC also runs the London Digital Assets Forum (see Tier 2 on this list), which is its more institutional, curated offshoot. Barcelona is the broader event — more attendees, more diversity, more noise, but also more surface area for unexpected connections. The networking app is genuinely good; use it aggressively before and during the event.

Fira Barcelona in mid-September — great weather, strong restaurant scene for side meetings. The city is an easy hub for European travel. If you can only do one broad European crypto event and you've already done Paris Blockchain Week, EBC Barcelona is the complement.
