Our volunteer community

Paradise Mafia

8 years of showing up behind the scenes of Europe’s best tech events.

8 years ago we started inviting people backstage at the events we produce. A community grew out of it.

Students and seasoned operators, engineers and storytellers, newcomers to Paris and people who have been here all along: profiles from every background and every walk of life, brought together by the same curiosity for innovation, entrepreneurship and AI. They set up the rooms, welcome the speakers, run the floor. And they stay in touch long after the lights go down.

We gather every month, somewhere in Paris. No badge, no agenda, just the people who make these events happen.
