About this event
If you're heading to Cannes and want to spend time with people actively shaping crypto, USDG Beach House sponsored by Kraken and Solana is the kind of gathering that earns a place on your calendar. This is an in-person afternoon designed for real conversation, useful introductions, and a more relaxed setting than the usual conference corridor or packed side event. Set against the energy of Cannes on Tuesday, July 1 at 2:00 PM GMT+2, the Beach House brings together builders, operators, investors, ecosystem participants, and curious insiders around a shared interest in where crypto is going next. Expect a social, high-signal environment where networking feels natural and the format leaves room for both planned moments and spontaneous discussions. What Is This? USDG Beach House is a community-driven meetup and networking event built for people who want more than a quick handshake. The setting is intentionally in person and social, giving attendees space to connect in a way that feels more human, more direct, and more productive than a rushed exchange between sessions. With support from Kraken and Solana, the event sits at the intersection of ecosystem conversation and community gathering. That means the emphasis is not only on meeting people, but on meeting the right people: those thinking seriously about product, markets, infrastructure, adoption, partnerships, and the broader direction of crypto. Rather than presenting itself as a highly formal conference program, this event is best understood as a curated touchpoint during a busy week in Cannes. It creates a place to reset, reconnect, and have the kind of conversations that often lead to follow-up meetings, new collaborations, and a clearer read on what matters right now. What to Expect The format is built around networking, informal discussion, and community interaction. You should expect a flow that supports both casual drop-in energy and more intentional conversations with peers across the crypto space. This is an afternoon event, which makes it a strong fit whether you're planning your day around meetings or looking for a high-quality anchor in the middle of a crowded schedule. What the experience is likely to center on: Open networking with attendees from across the crypto ecosystem Social conversation in a beach house setting, with a more relaxed pace than a traditional venue Community meetups and introductions that help you move beyond surface-level contact Organic discussions around current market themes, product direction, ecosystem growth, and where attention is shifting Space for relationship-building, whether you're reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting people for the first time Because the event is positioned as a meetup and social gathering, the value comes from participation. Come ready to introduce yourself clearly, ask smart questions, and spend time with people outside your immediate circle. The setting should make that easy. You can also expect a broader mix of attendee intentions than you might find at a niche workshop. Some people will be there to strengthen existing relationships, some to explore partnerships, some to get a read on the community, and others simply to spend time with thoughtful people in the space. That mix is part of what makes this kind of event useful. Why Attend In a week full of noise, context matters. Beach House-style events work because they create an environment where conversations can breathe. Instead of trying to compress everything into a few minutes, you get the chance to ask follow-up questions, compare perspectives, and understand how other people are thinking about the market and the ecosystem. This event is especially valuable if you care about the human side of crypto: the trust, reputation, and shared context that make future work possible. Whether you're building, investing, advising, hiring, or exploring where you fit, time spent in the right room with the right people can be more useful than another hour of passive content. Attending can help you: Expand your network with people who are active in crypto right now Deepen existing relationships in a setting that encourages real conversation Get sharper market and ecosystem insight through informal, candid discussion Discover collaboration opportunities that are easier to spot in person than online Stay plugged into community momentum during a key gathering moment in Cannes There is also simple value in being present where strong communities gather. Events like this often become the place where introductions happen naturally, priorities become clearer, and the week starts to feel less fragmented. If you want signal without excessive structure, this is a strong format. Practical Details Location: In person in Cannes, France.

Who should attend
This is for people who want strong crypto conversations and useful introductions in a more relaxed in-person setting. - **You work in crypto and want better networking than a crowded conference hall can offer.** If you're a founder, operator, product lead, ecosystem contributor, or part of a protocol, exchange, or infrastructure team, this gives you room for real conversations. - **You're in Cannes to meet people, not just collect badges.** If your week depends on building relationships, following up with partners, or finding the right warm introductions, this event fits that goal. - **You value community as much as content.** If you learn a lot from candid discussion, peer perspective, and off-stage insight, you'll likely get more from this format than from another panel. - **You're exploring partnerships, collaborations, or ecosystem opportunities.** This is a strong fit if you want to understand who is active, what they're focused on, and where interests align. - **You want to reconnect with the crypto community in person.** If you've been meaning to catch up with people across the space or widen your circle beyond your usual network, the setting is built for that. - **You're crypto-curious but already close enough to the space to have thoughtful conversations.** If you can contribute perspective, ask good questions, and engage seriously, you'll feel comfortable here.
