## 💫 How It All Started 💫

Every year, Cannes hosts numerous congresses, and in 2025, for the very first time, it was the turn of **ETHCC (Ethereum Community Conference)** to come to town. This conference, the largest in Europe dedicated to the **Ethereum ecosystem** and **Web3**, transformed the city from June 30 to July 4.

In this context, [GSR.io](http://gsr.io/), an international company specialized in crypto trading, wanted to organize a **tailor-made cocktail** focused on networking. Already well-known in the industry for hosting side events, the company attracted a large number of participants.

## 🌟 The Client’s Request 🌟

From the very first discussions, GSR’s expectations were clear: **a rooftop** within walking distance of the Palais des Festivals. The venue had to host around 200 **guests** for a relaxed cocktail dinner, offer a great view, and allow for the delivery of goodies at reception. GSR co-organized the event with other companies attending the congress to minimize costs and maximize impact.

## 🌇 The Chosen Venue 🌇

After a targeted search, **Native Spaces suggested [a panoramic rooftop](https://native-spaces.com/venue/3449)** located just five minutes from La Croisette and the Palais des Festivals. The venue immediately won over GSR’s team thanks to its **view of the port** and Cannes beaches, along with its **modern atmosphere**.

## 💬 Results and Client Feedback 💬

The event went seamlessly, even exceeding the expected 200 guests, and GSR is already planning to book the same rooftop for next year! Beyond loving the venue, the company also highly appreciated our team’s responsiveness and support. They even connected us with their international partners to help them, in turn, find unique venues that matched their needs.

But that’s not all! Known for their unmissable events, GSR is also hosting a lunch in Singapore… and guess who’s helping them find the perfect venue?! 🤭

## 💫 How It All Started 💫

The Ethereum Community Conference (ETHCC), one of the major events in the European Web3 scene, took place in Cannes for the very first time. From **July 1st to 5th, 2025**, the city welcomed a wave of blockchain, finance, and crypto professionals.

During this week, Kraken — one of the **world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange platforms** — wanted to take advantage of having so many key players gathered in the same city to host an event that reflected their brand identity. Their Paris-based team reached out to Native Spaces with a clear goal: to create an exclusive moment for their clients and partners.

## 🌟 The Client’s Request 🌟

Kraken ultimately decided on a **cocktail reception**. The event needed to be held on a private beach or an outdoor rooftop located in the heart of Cannes. The challenge: finding a flexible venue that could host **up to 150 guests**, from noon to 10 PM, with high-quality services (catering, music, DJ set) and the possibility to include some branded elements.

Since the budget was shared between several partners, every aspect of the event had to be **optimized without compromising the brand image**. The challenge was therefore as much about logistics as it was about aesthetics.

## 🏝 The Chosen Venue 🏝

[![CANNES ETHCC 2025](https://upcdn.io/FW25bqJ/raw/blog/464/Text%20Photos%20V.png)](https://native-spaces.com/venue/7291)

After discussions, **the Kraken team agreed on** [a private beach on the Croisette](https://native-spaces.com/fr/venue/7291). Inspired by Vincent Darré’s universe and located just a few minutes from the Palais des Festivals, this venue instantly won them over. It offered a private beach, a terrace, and a restaurant, all in a modular setting. The location also made it possible to host a **DJ set** and incorporate branding to boost the event’s visibility.

## 💬 Results & Client Feedback 💬

The cocktail reception exceeded all expectations. Far more people than anticipated attended, a clear sign of the strong interest generated by the event. It unfolded in a relaxed yet professional atmosphere. The Kraken team has already expressed interest in working with Native Spaces again for ETHCC 2026! A promising collaboration that’s just getting started.

Host a beachside cocktail in Cannes during ETHCC: premium networking, strong brand visibility, and a memorable atmosphere on the iconic Croisette.

## **💫 How It All Started 💫**

The **Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity** is one of the most prestigious global events in advertising, marketing, tech, and media. Each year, it gathers thousands of professionals, brands, agencies, and platforms in Cannes for a week of conferences, networking, and private parties.

The 2025 edition took place from **June 16 to 20**. In this highly competitive context, **OpenX** wanted to stand out with a strategic venue. Their goal: bring together partners, VIP guests, and clients right in the heart of the action.

## 🌟 **The Client's Request** 🌟

OpenX was looking for a venue just steps away from the Palais des Festivals to stay at the core of the event throughout the week. The goal was to find a **versatile apartment** that could host their team, provide space for business meetings, and allow for **evening cocktails**. The venue also needed to allow **discreet but visible branding**.

## 📸 The Venue 📸

[![CANNES LIONS](https://upcdn.io/FW25bqJ/raw/blog/456/1.png)](https://native-spaces.com/venue/1549)

After exploring several options on the Croisette, Native Spaces recommended a **[240 m² penthouse with a terrace](https://native-spaces.com/venue/1549)** located in the heart of Cannes’ Golden Triangle.

This venue stood out immediately thanks to its **strategic advantages**:

* **Location** just steps from the Palais
* **Terrace overlooking the Croisette**
* **5 rooms that they were able to convert into meeting rooms**
* **Bright and modern interior design**
* **Easy access** for deliveries and guest arrivals

The apartment became OpenX’s basecamp for the week: some rooms were transformed into **private meeting spaces** for key conversations, while the living area hosted **cocktails and networking sessions** each evening. The **25 m² terrace**, overlooking one of the busiest festival zones, allowed for **high-visibility branding**, boosting OpenX’s presence among Cannes Lions attendees.

Just a short walk from every key festival location, the apartment offered the perfect mix of **prestige, practicality, and comfort**.

## 💚 **The Native Spaces Touch** 💚

*“Honestly, the team was an absolute dream – thank you so much for your support, kindness, and proactivity – we truly appreciated it, especially during such a hectic week! We’ll definitely be in touch again next year 💛”*

## 💫 **How It All Started** 💫

The **Ethereum Community Conference (ETHCC)** is one of Europe’s largest gatherings focused on blockchain, Web3, and decentralization. The 2025 edition was held for the first time in **Cannes, from July 8 to 11**, attracting thousands of attendees from around the world.

In this context, **Symbiotic** wanted to host a **high-end private party**, outside the official conference program at the Palais.

## 🌊 **Symbiotic’s Request** 🌊

Symbiotic was looking for **a villa in Cannes** to host a relaxed evening, far from the formal conference setting. The goal was to create an atmosphere for **casual conversations** with colleagues and other ETHCC participants. They wanted a well-located venue with **a DJ, open bar, catering, discreet branding**, and enough room to host **around 100 guests**—without any logistical headaches or issues with the neighbors.

## 🏡 **The Chosen Venue** 🏡


[![CANNES ETHCC](https://upcdn.io/FW25bqJ/raw/blog/458/1.png)](https://native-spaces.com/venue/6320)

From the very first conversations, the Native Spaces team understood the essence of the event: a laid-back evening in a **welcoming and inspiring setting**.

**Several options** were explored before they found the perfect match: a [**historic villa**](https://native-spaces.com/venue/6320) hidden in the heart of Cannes. Once the royal stables of King George V, this venue checked all the boxes:

* A **tropical garden with a pool**
* A **vibrant atmosphere** ideal for social content
* **Modular open-air areas** to host the DJ, catering, furniture, and guests
* A **strategic location**, just minutes from the Croisette yet tucked away from the noise

Once confirmed, Native Spaces handled all coordination between the host and Symbiotic’s team, took care of logistics (goodie delivery, layout planning, tech schedule), selected the DJ, and advised on catering, bar service, and furniture rentals.

## 💚 **The Native Spaces Touch** 💚

*“Everything went so smoothly – thank you so much for your help and support. The DJ was amazing, the food was delicious, and the venue was simply perfect. Everyone had a great time, and we’re really happy with how it all turned out!”* – Symbiotic
