Upcoming European Ethereum Conference: EthCC
The upcoming European Ethereum Conference (EthCC), set to take place from June 30 to July 3 in Cannes, is stepping up its security protocols to ensure the safety of its attendees, including high-profile figures such as Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin.
Enhanced Security Measures
Jerome de Tychey, the CEO of Cometh, remarked that the level of protection will mirror that of celebrities at prestigious film festivals, notably likening it to the security measures seen for A-list stars like Tom Cruise at the Cannes Film Festival.
In light of recent kidnapping incidents targeting individuals within the cryptocurrency sphere in France, local authorities are responding by bolstering law enforcement presence in the area. Plans include deploying over 500 surveillance cameras throughout the city to monitor any potential threats.
Growing Dangers and Precautions
Ari Redbord, who leads policy initiatives at TRM Labs, underscored the growing dangers for cryptocurrency professionals, pointing to the booming value of cryptocurrencies and changes in regulation that have made France a hotspot for organized criminal activity. He has urged those in the crypto space to limit their social media visibility and contemplate hiring personal security as a precaution.
Participation and Anticipation
While the EthCC organizers remain tight-lipped regarding specific security strategies, they have confirmed that the event will see participation from governmental figures, regulatory bodies, and affluent investors, further emphasizing the high stakes at play for the conference and its attendees.
As the event draws near, anticipation grows not only for the discussions on Ethereum and blockchain developments but also for the extensive security measures that will be in place to safeguard its prominent guests.
