SHAKA Festival 2026: Surfing Meets Crypto Deals on the Beach
The SHAKA Festival is returning to Biarritz from September 24-26, 2026. The tech conference's unique format allows for a high volume of deals to be made on and off the surfboard.
This year's event will feature over 2,500 participants, including founders, CTOs, investors, and makers. The speaker lineup includes Paul Midy, MP, Rachel Delacour (CEO of Sweep), Francis Lelong (CEO of Alegria Groupe), Sylvain Theveniaud (Allianz Accelerator), and Hervé Bloch (Le Fund).
The festival's organizers aim to create a space for serious business by combining networking opportunities with outdoor activities, such as surfing and yoga. Attendees can expect to see the coexistence of worlds that rarely cross, including crypto, AI, and traditional tech.
