Cardano Summit 2025 and Regional Cardano Tech Events
Cardano always goes beyond borders. This year and thanks to the funding provided by the Cardano community, the flagship event in Berlin will be flanked by five major regional Cardano tech events spread across the globe. Organized by four different ecosystem members, this offers the Cardano community multiple opportunities to celebrate and learn together. Join any of the events to connect, learn, and be inspired by the collective brilliance of the Cardano community!
The Cardano Summit 2025 will feature a hybrid event model, combining a flagship event in Berlin organized by the Cardano Foundation with five regional Cardano events by four ecosystem members (see below)—ensuring that Cardano is accessible to communities worldwide while increasing the inflow and retention of new developer talent.
While the Berlin flagship event will execute a strong enterprise focus, connecting the Cardano ecosystem with leading global businesses, each regional event organised by an ecosystem member in that region is designed to showcase and support the diverse local Cardano and developer communities, including with hackathons and potentially additional days for education sessions, a conference, and networking dinners, depending on the region's specific needs.
