NFT Paris and RWA Paris 2026 conferences have announced their cancellation. The official statement is very candid — the market continues to decline, and they have already tried to cut costs and repeatedly adjust plans. After several months of efforts, they still couldn't turn the situation around. Ultimately, they decided to cancel.

The arrangements for attendees are as follows: all purchased tickets will be fully refunded within 15 days, with no fees deducted. However, for those who have already booked flights and hotels, this news is somewhat disappointing. The organizers have specifically apologized to these attendees.

This also somewhat reflects the current real situation of the Web3 and NFT markets — even well-known industry conferences are struggling to remain unaffected.

After messing around for a few months, I still can't hold on. This wave of market is really fierce. Fortunately, a full refund, better than some conferences. Paris can't take it anymore, the overall environment is just like this. I've seen it coming long ago, this downward trend isn't over. My friends who booked flights and hotels are losing big, sigh.

Industry conferences can't even hold up anymore, which shows the problem is indeed serious. Bear markets are like this, even leading conferences have to kneel. Wish I hadn't booked the hotel... Never mind, a full refund is better than being charged. This wave reveals who the true believers are. The market still needs to cool down for a while. Cutting costs alone won't save it; we need to wait for a real turning point. Those who booked flights early are losing out. The industry is so tough that even organizers have to admit defeat. The Web3 winter is still far away. This is the reality; no matter how big the conference, everyone has to bow. Losing money can't even keep it up; how bad must the market be? Looks like we have to wait for the next cycle.

I should have known not to book the hotel in advance... This time is indeed a bit tough. Honestly, this is the real sincerity—at least the full refund without any tricks. If the market continues like this, even the conferences can't be held. How much worse can it get? Another conference has collapsed. How many more events can last until next year?

No mutual understanding without a fight. The market bear has come to an end, and even the conference can't hold on anymore. It's really time to wake up. The Paris Conference used to be so popular, but now it's cold. Web3 is still learning to walk, and they're organizing RWA forums... Full refunds are somewhat considerate, but those brothers who booked flights got screwed. This downward cycle hit faster than expected. The NFT hype is gone; all conferences are just participating in the race. It's better to cancel and refund than to keep going half-heartedly. At least there's some responsibility. It feels like the next one to fall might be right in front of us...

The market can't even hold a conference anymore, this is the reality. After messing around for a few months, it's still surrendering, indicating that the decline still has to continue. The time to watch the show has arrived, there are always lower points. If the conference is fully refunded, you still think about rebounding and selling? Dream on. This is the cycle. The conference is dead, only then will the bottom come. Be patient and wait. Industry conferences can't even hold up, and there are still people taking over? Wake up. After months of messing around, there's no hope, which means nothing can be salvaged. The market bottom is still far away. The official has given up, retail investors should wake up. That's what history has taught us. Tickets and hotel bookings are made but you can't go, this is the cost of chasing highs. Buy the dip again after a fall, this time you should wait even more. The conference cancellation is a signal.

Really, this is honesty. Much better than those forced to hold failed conferences, and they even refunded in full. --- With the market like this, even Paris can't save it. It's quite hopeless. --- Friends with tickets to flights and hotels really got it tough... This wave is indeed hard to bear. --- Can't even hold industry conferences? It shows that the foundation is really cold. --- At least they didn't greedily harvest attendees, which is worth respecting. --- Another project educated by the market, but being so honest actually gained good reputation? --- It's better to cancel than to end in failure, but it's a pity for those who booked hotels early. --- Web3 conferences are being canceled one after another, and this signal is a bit heartbreaking.

Alright, this time it's really gg, can't even hold the conference anymore. If the market continues like this, how many more will dare to hold events next year? The money is gone, and people have dispersed. Full refunds are considerate, but who will refund the money for the tickets and hotels? This is the current state of Web3, the promised revolution ultimately still lost to reality.
