Emerging TradFi-Web3 summit with an outsized speaker roster
Why Attend
Proof of Talk is still building its identity, but the 2025 speaker roster was remarkable: Ethena's Guy Young, Aave's Stani Kulechov, 21Shares' Ophelia Snyder, Cathie Wood, and Barry Silbert — a concentration of neo finance names you'd normally need three conferences to assemble. The TradFi-meets-Web3 thesis and deal-making orientation are promising.
The risk: it's young enough that the networking dynamics and audience quality aren't yet proven at scale. The upside: if the speaker caliber holds, this could become a top-tier event within two editions. Paris's emergence as Europe's crypto capital provides a strong local ecosystem around the event.
Paris in June. Worth monitoring the 2026 speaker announcements before committing. If the roster matches 2025's quality, it's an easy add — especially if you're already in Europe for Money20/20 Amsterdam or Point Zero Forum Zurich.
