Surfin' Bitcoin is the unmissable annual event for the French and European Bitcoin ecosystem. In a breathtaking environment, it offers the opportunity to enrich one's knowledge through conferences, while enjoying warm moments and professional exchanges?
 
Combining education, innovation and user-friendliness, Surfin' Bitcoin offers a unique platform to exchange ideas, form partnerships and boost the growth of the sector in Europe. By carrying on this spirit, Surfin' Bitcoin continues to inspire and influence the way we approach the future of Bitcoin and its ecosystem.

  1. Promote exchanges and meetings between players in the Bitcoin ecosystem and industry professionals
  2. Provide precise and valuable information on technological developments and innovations in the field of Bitcoin, the Lightning Network and its ecosystem
  3. Allow participants to deepen their understanding of the economy, geopolitics and regulation of the sector
  4. Bring contradiction and debate on topics that are directly and indirectly related to Bitcoin
  5. Promote Bitcoin adoption in businesses and public institutions.

This year, the content will be mainly focused for industry professionals, technicians, investors and passionate. Unlike last year, there will be no free day open to the public.
 
This year's innovations:
  • A particular focus on Tech & Research with scientific presentations and a full day of tech workshops to bring together researchers in mathematics and the best Bitcoin and Lightning Network technicians
    The Economics & Geopolitics theme, highly appreciated by the participants, will be honored this year with exceptional speakers
  • Regulation becomes the alpha and omega of “crypto” business in the world. We will explore the opportunities and challenges for companies in the ecosystem through keynotes and round tables made up of the best experts.
  • FTX, Terra-Luna, Celsius and the other bankruptcies of 2022 had a major impact on the Bitcoin ecosystem, so the conference will also cover major topics for the industry, such as stablecoins and staking.
