Zcon is the Zcash Foundation’s annual conference focused on Zcash and privacy-preserving technologies. It brings together developers, researchers, policy thinkers, builders, and community members from around the world to collaborate, learn, and shape the future of financial privacy.
The theme for Zcon7 is ¡Vamos!—Spanish for “Let’s go!” More than a slogan, ¡Vamos! is a call to action for momentum, urgency, and collective progress across the Zcash ecosystem. It represents a shift toward removing friction, accelerating development, strengthening coordination, and turning ambitious ideas into real-world impact—together and at full speed.
Zcon7 will take place Tuesday, October 27 – Thursday, 29, 2026, in Cancún, Mexico. To attend the conference, participants MUST book their stay through our official group reservation link, which will be available by summer 2026. Due to resort regulations, guests who book directly through the hotel or a third-party vendor will not receive a conference wristband and will be unable to participate in conference events.
This year’s conference will be fully in-person, with no livestream component.
Registration will open summer of 2026. Follow us on X, Bluesky, or the Zcash forum for announcements.

No. Zcon7 will be an in-person-only event in Cancún, and there will be no livestream. Hosting the event in person allows for more interactive sessions, deeper real-time discussions, and stronger opportunities for hands-on collaboration, and we encourage our community podcasters to share highlights with the greater community throughout the event.
We are also committed to creating meaningful ways for the broader community to participate virtually through other events, such as Zcomm on March 24, 2026.
ZF will begin announcing speakers and sessions closer to the event. As we did last year, the program will be created in cooperation with other ecosystem organizations to ensure a diverse, collaborative, and engaging lineup.
