Overview

Proof of Talk is a high-level Parisian summit that bridges traditional finance and Web3, curating an intimate gathering of founders, institutional investors, policymakers, and media for serious deal-making and policy dialogue. The 2026 edition focuses on digital asset regulation, real-world asset tokenisation, and the future of global finance — topics where Paris, as both an EU regulatory hub and a global financial centre, provides a uniquely relevant backdrop. Carefully curated panels, keynotes, and networking lounges are designed to encourage substantive conversation rather than performative content.

What to Expect

  • 1

    A deliberately curated and intimate format — the guest list is managed to ensure every conversation is between principals, not intermediaries.

  • 2

    Paris as both setting and subject: French and EU regulatory developments discussed with the actual officials shaping them, in the city where the decisions are made.

  • 3

    Networking lounges designed for extended conversations rather than rapid card exchanges — the event architecture pushes attendees toward depth over volume.

  • 4

    Strong media presence from both crypto and mainstream financial press, making it a prime venue for controlled announcement timing and thought leadership positioning.

CFC St. Moritz

Jan 14–16, 2026St. Moritz, Switzerland

CFC St. Moritz is the definitive anti-conference for Web3's most senior dealmakers. Limited to just 250 carefully selected investors, founders, and policymakers, it eschews the expo-floor model entirely in favour of intimate workshop sessions, live tokenisation demonstrations, and unscripted conversations that only happen when everyone in the room is a principal. Set against the Swiss Alpine backdrop of St. Moritz during Davos Week, it is where digital assets and traditional finance actually talk — not just talk about talking.
