## **✨ How It All Began ✨**

Every year, **Cannes** becomes the global spotlight for advertising, marketing, tech, and media. This city on the French Riviera doesn’t just attract the world for its film festival and red carpets.

It also hosts the **Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity**, one of the most prestigious events for the creative industry. Cannes Lions is the perfect opportunity for companies to connect with thousands of professionals, brands, agencies, and platforms during a week of conferences, networking, and private events.

This year, the **Cannes Lions** took place from **June 16 to 20, 2025**. It was in this context that **Innocean**, an international communications agency specializing in advertising, reached out to us to help them find the perfect venue for their event.

## ☀️ **The Client’s Request** ☀️

Unlike most companies looking for venues right in the middle of the action during conferences, **Innocean** wanted something more **private and upscale**, away from the crowds.

Their goal was to bring the whole team together with a **welcome cocktail**, followed by a **seated dinner for 50 guests**. They also required technical equipment for a presentation, including **microphones, a screen, or a projector**.

After reviewing several options, they finally selected this [**stylish terrace with soft tones**.](https://native-spaces.com/fr/venue/1861)

Close to the Croisette yet tucked away from the buzz, the venue offered both convenience and privacy. Innocean even visited the location before booking, and **its setting and minimalist design won them over instantly.**

### 💚 **The Native Spaces Touch** 💚

The team needed some last-minute support: after winning an award during one of the festival’s conferences, they wanted to celebrate with a **cake and flowers**.

We acted quickly and made sure they had everything to **mark their achievement**, even on short notice. We were also on-site on the day of the event to assist and reassure them. The evening ran **smoothly**, and the Innocean team was absolutely **delighted**.

## 💫 How It All Started 💫

ETHCC (Ethereum Community Conference) is the largest conference dedicated to the Ethereum ecosystem and Web3 in Europe. It takes place every year in Paris over three days, bringing together developers, researchers, entrepreneurs, and blockchain investors. This year, a big change of scenery: ETHCC landed in Cannes for the very first time, from June 30 to July 4!

Algorand Foundation, a non-profit organization based in Singapore that supports and develops the blockchain ecosystem, wanted to take advantage of this congress to host its own event.

## 🌟 The Client’s Request 🌟

Algorand Foundation had a clear vision and was looking for a versatile venue, with the goal of combining a cocktail party and discussion panels for their event **“#AlgoCan\[nes]“**. They needed a place close to the Palais des Festivals, able to host around one hundred guests, with an air-conditioned indoor area for panels and an outdoor space for the cocktail.

## 🌇 The Chosen Venue 🌇

[![Algorand Foundation ETHCC](https://upcdn.io/FW25bqJ/raw/blog/487/LEL1.png)](https://native-spaces.com/venue/3570)

They chose this [luxury penthouse with rooftop and sea view](https://native-spaces.com/fr/venue/3570), located less than a 5-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. The venue features a large 250 m² living room, perfect for hosting indoor conferences. Outside, the spacious rooftop with its direct sea view matched exactly what Algorand Foundation wanted for their cocktail party.

## 💬 Results & Client Feedback 💬

## 💫 How It All Started 💫

After a stop in Brussels, the ETHCC (Ethereum Community Conference) took place in Cannes for its 2025 edition, from June 30 to July 3. It brought together the entire global Web3 ecosystem on the Croisette: developers, investors, legal experts, startup founders…

And like any major conference, numerous side events animated the city’s hotels, rooftops, and private beaches.

Among the companies present was **AltLayer,** specialized in customizable blockchains (rollups) for Web3 applications. Their goal: host conferences on trending topics and wrap up with a cocktail reception. Since the team was not very familiar with Cannes, they needed full support — from venue sourcing to audiovisual setup and on-site branding.

## 🌟 The Client’s Request 🌟

From the very first contact with the Native Spaces team, **the need was clear: a central and fully equipped venue** to host a full day of conferences followed by an evening cocktail.

The **experience had to be seamless,** with a venue close to the Palais des Festivals, a large conference room, and a “wow” setting for the cocktail.

## 🏨 The Chosen Venue 🏨

[![CANNES ETHCC 2025](https://upcdn.io/FW25bqJ/raw/blog/479/Text%20Photos%20V.png)](https://native-spaces.com/venue/3449)

The final choice was an **[elegant hotel located near the Palais des Festivals](https://native-spaces.com/venue/3449)**.. It offered a conference room as well as a rooftop, **the perfect setting for this event.** A bright space, easy access for vendors, and a premium atmosphere — it was exactly what they were looking for.

To further enhance their brand image, we recommended a local vendor to produce custom roll-ups that AltLayer installed, showcasing their various projects, partners, and brands.

## 💬 Results & Client Feedback 💬

The company was delighted with the experience and particularly appreciated the support in sourcing vendors, facilitating connections, and ensuring smooth communication with our team.

## 💫 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 🌇

[![CANNES ETHCC 2025](https://upcdn.io/FW25bqJ/raw/blog/472/Text%20Photos%20V.png)](https://native-spaces.com/venue/3449)

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?! 🤭
