CONF3RENCE: Event Legal at web3 Speed
CONF3RENCE is Germany’s premier web3 event. Thousands of attendees, dozens of speakers, multiple sponsors. SOLV3 needed legal support that could keep pace with event planning chaos.
Embedded, Not External
We didn’t wait for contracts to arrive. We embedded ourselves in the planning process with weekly syncs to understand what was coming - which sponsors were close to signing, which speakers needed special terms, which venue issues were emerging.
When contracts came in, they went out the same day. We built templates for common scenarios so new deals started from 80% complete. Our AI document analysis tools tracked terms across the full speaker and vendor roster, flagging exceptions that needed attorney attention.
Speaker Contracts at Scale
CONF3RENCE featured dozens of speakers. Each needed a contract covering appearance terms, content rights, and cancellation provisions.
We developed a speaker framework with standard terms for most speakers and clear escalation paths for headliners. IP provisions ensured SOLV3 could record and distribute content. Cancellation clauses protected the event.
“We booked 40+ speakers in three months. Every single contract was handled by Compound Law without ever becoming a bottleneck.”
Sponsors and Vendors
Sponsors fund events. We built agreements that defined deliverables clearly, secured payment with appropriate schedules, and allocated risk appropriately.
For vendors - venue, catering, AV, production - we negotiated terms that protected SOLV3 while keeping the event on track.
The web3 Layer
CONF3RENCE isn’t just any conference. Token-based ticketing, NFT collectibles, crypto sponsor payments - we advised on the legal structure for all of it.
Results
CONF3RENCE 2025: 3,000+ attendees, 40+ speakers contracted without delays, 15+ sponsors with clean agreements, zero legal disputes. Framework ready for future events.
That’s what event legal should look like: fast, integrated, and invisible until you need it. For professional services and event businesses deploying AI tools in document review or operations, our guide on EU AI Act compliance for professional services firms covers the applicable obligations.
