​🤝🏗️ Connect & Construct: AI & Web3 Builders Meetup

​📆 Date: 28th June 2025
🕑 Time: 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM
📍 Cannes, France

​Builders. Dreamers. Protocol architects. Prompt tinkerers. This is where you belong. Welcome to Connect & Construct.

​Right in the heart of EthCC 2025, Connect & Construct is the definitive gathering for those who don't just talk about the future—they build it. It's where the power of artificial intelligence meets the structure of blockchain, and creators of every kind come together to sketch, ship, and shape what comes next.

​No pitches. No fluff. Just real humans solving real problems with powerful tools.

​Whether you’re building autonomous agents, rethinking token mechanics with AI, designing AI-native wallets, or creating smart contracts that learn as they go—this meetup is your community in motion. Come as you are, and leave with aligned minds, new collaborators, fresh insights, and maybe even your next project co-founder.

​🔥 Why This Meetup Matters

​The landscape is evolving rapidly. Smart contracts are learning. LLMs are reasoning. DAOs are automating. But beneath the buzzwords is a builder’s reality: integrating AI and Web3 isn’t easy. It’s messy, experimental, and filled with edge cases.

​Connect & Construct is designed to give space for builders to share what’s working, what’s breaking, and what’s just weird enough to be exciting. This is a four-hour immersion in the bleeding edge—where product thinkers meet protocol engineers, and technical creators sync across disciplines.

​It's not about showing off. It's about showing up with questions, code, drafts, and half-formed ideas ready to grow.

​🧠 What to Expect: Hands-On, Human-Centered Creation

​The format is fluid but focused. The agenda is structured to allow you to meet, build, and collaborate with a sense of momentum.

• ​Intro Kickoff – A short, energizing welcome to align on the spirit of the space and share what's possible

• ​Live Whiteboard Jams – Open whiteboards for teams and individuals to sketch ideas, workshop roadblocks, or publicly crowdsource solutions

• ​AI x Blockchain Sync Circles – Breakout zones themed around key building areas like zkML, agent infrastructure, DAO tooling, decentralized inference, and governance automation

• ​Show and Tell – Get inspired by short, rapid demos from builders in the room. No slide decks—just code, interfaces, or creative vision

• ​Open Builders Table – Need a contributor? Have an idea? Want to test a hypothesis in real time? Drop into the Builders Table and find collaborators on the spot

​This is your safe space to be in-progress, in-doubt, or in-flow. The only requirement is curiosity and willingness to engage.

​🍽️ Fuel for the Mind and Body

​We know that great building needs great fuel. The Connect & Construct experience includes a handpicked selection of afternoon snacks and beverages designed to keep you energized and sharp.

• ​Fresh crostini platters, vegan wraps, and seasonal finger foods

• ​Locally sourced juice shots, sparkling water, and artisan iced teas

• ​Brain bars infused with focus-friendly nutrients and natural energy boosters

• ​Freshly brewed coffee for those deep in the debugging zone

​No one codes well when they’re hungry. And here, no builder is left unfed.

​🎁 Giveaways and Builder Perks

​To keep the energy high and the surprises flowing, we’re bringing thoughtful giveaways and builder-focused drops throughout the event:

• ​Build Kits – Every attendee receives a mini toolkit with sketchpads, stickers, Figma stencils, and a mystery generative NFT card

• ​Random Acts of Recognition – At random intervals, contributors showing exceptional collaboration, creativity, or curiosity will win surprise prizes including API credits, co-working passes, and exclusive merch

• ​Proof-of-Build Tokens – Mint a commemorative digital artifact of your participation to unlock perks at future events and meetups

​🤝 This Space Is Designed for You

​There are few places where people from such diverse disciplines can gather without a stage, an agenda, or ego. Connect & Construct was created to be a builder-first environment—where designers, engineers, prompt writers, and protocol tinkerers meet on equal ground.

​It’s a place to troubleshoot and test. A place to connect with folks who speak your language, whether that’s Solidity, Python, Figma, or theory.

​It’s a celebration of process, and a vote of confidence in your weirdest idea.

​📅 Come Ready to Build, Share, and Connect

​Whether you’ve shipped 10 products or just joined your first DAO, this is your afternoon to be in it with a room full of people who care just as much as you do. Bring your laptop, your notebook, your open mind, and your hunger to build something bold.

​Connect & Construct is not a moment. It’s momentum. Be part of it.
