Why we come collectively
Each two years, the Ethereum neighborhood comes collectively at Devcon to collaborate and construct towards a extra holistic, reliable, democratic, and decentralized future. Devcon isn’t about hype or hypothesis; it’s about making a extra free and open society the place know-how enhances human potential and aligns with our core values.
For 4 days, builders, neighborhood leaders, and changemakers step out of their silos and collect in a single place to share data, align on Ethereum’s future course, and study from one another. After Devcon, we scatter again into our decentralized lives, however the momentum we create energizes us to maintain constructing.
What to anticipate at Devcon
Devcon is one huge occasion happening in a single venue for 4 days in Bangkok, Thailand from November 12-15 2024. Devcon is totally different from Devconnect, the second occasion we’re organizing.
The Devcon Week calendar options academic occasions earlier than and after Devcon. We encourage organizers to plan round the principle Devcon schedule, as we is not going to be itemizing occasions that happen throughout Devcon days to maintain Devcon the principle schelling level.
Audio system
This yr, Devcon obtained almost 3,000 speaker purposes, doubling the quantity from Devcon VI.
Some highlighted audio system embrace:
- Vitalik Buterin (Co-founder of Ethereum): Exploring essentially the most related subjects on the intersection of know-how and society.
- Aya Miyaguchi (Government Director of the Ethereum Basis): Sharing her imaginative and prescient for Ethereum’s ecosystem development and the Infinite Backyard.
- Roger Dingledine (Co-founder of The Tor Undertaking): Sharing classes discovered from the Tor neighborhood, privacy-by-design, and the cypherpunk ethos.
- Bruno Maçães (thinker, journalist, politician, and creator): Analyzing how know-how is remodeling geopolitics, the place states and nice powers compete to create and management new world techniques.
- Hart Montgomery (CTO of the Linux Basis): Providing insights into open-source undertaking buildings and neighborhood constructing.
- Gubsheep (Co-founder of 0xPARC): Exploring programmable cryptography and its impression on dApps and the creation of completely new digital worlds.
Uncover extra audio system right here.
These mini-events inside Devcon foster interdisciplinary discussions on subjects that matter each to Ethereum and society by bringing collectively consultants from various fields. Some key classes are:
-
d/acc Discovery Day: Led by Vitalik Buterin, Vincent Weisser and others, this session explores the d/acc (defensive accelerationism) imaginative and prescient and the way we should always concentrate on decentralization and defensive applied sciences to create a resilient future.
-
MUD: Autonomous Worlds & Onchain Video games: Organized by 0xPARC, and Lattice, for these eager about autonomous worlds, onchain video games, and different complicated Ethereum purposes.
-
Growing on Ethereum: BuidlGuidl will supply hands-on classes for each newbie and superior builders to construct decentralized purposes and write sensible contracts. You’ll develop sensible expertise, obtain mentorship, and community with different builders.
-
Programmable Cryptography: 0xPARC and others will showcase how second-generation cryptographic primitives similar to zero-knowledge proofs, multi-party computation, and absolutely homomorphic encryption lay the inspiration for a extra good web.
-
Formal Verification Hangout: Casual discussions on the safety and reliability of sensible contracts and software program techniques, permitting researchers and builders to attach.
In the event you’re trying to manage and lead discussions at Devcon, the Dialogue Corners are good for diving into subjects round Ethereum. Reservations for time in Dialogue Corners will open to everybody shortly earlier than Devcon.
Neighborhood Hubs are areas, organized by the neighborhood, for deep dives into particular Ethereum-related subjects and to fulfill folks working in particular Ethereum-related fields. Listed below are the featured Neighborhood Hubs:

- Regen Hub: A hub targeted on regenerative tasks and sustainability inside Ethereum, discussing native empowerment and world initiatives.
- Sustaining Open-Supply Growth Hub: An area to discover open-source enterprise fashions and uncover methods to maintain open-source public items inside the ecosystem.
- The World of DeSci Hub: Focuses on decentralized science and the way web3 applied sciences are reshaping the scientific panorama, turning science right into a public good.
- Girls in Web3 World (W3): An inclusive house for girls and allies to community, study, and focus on variety and inclusion in Ethereum by way of workshops and fireplace chats.
