Six weeks until Devcon SEA in Bangkok

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 expertise 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 information, align on Ethereum’s future route, and be taught 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 massive occasion going down in a single venue for 4 days in Bangkok, Thailand from November 12-15 2024. Devcon is completely 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 won’t 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 probably the most related subjects on the intersection of expertise and society.
• Aya Miyaguchi (Government Director of the Ethereum Basis): Sharing her imaginative and prescient for Ethereum’s ecosystem progress and the Infinite Backyard.

These mini-events inside Devcon foster interdisciplinary discussions on subjects that matter each to Ethereum and society by bringing collectively specialists from numerous 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) vision and the way we must always deal with decentralization and defensive applied sciences to create a resilient future.

• MUD: Autonomous Worlds & Onchain Video games: Organized by 0xPARC, and Lattice, for these serious about autonomous worlds, onchain video games, and different advanced Ethereum purposes.

• Creating on Ethereum: BuidlGuidl will supply hands-on classes for each newbie and superior builders to construct decentralized purposes and write good 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 equivalent to zero-knowledge proofs, multi-party computation, and totally homomorphic encryption lay the muse for a extra excellent web.

• Formal Verification Hangout: Casual discussions on the safety and reliability of good contracts and software program techniques, permitting researchers and builders to attach.

When you’re seeking to manage and lead discussions at Devcon, the Dialogue Corners are excellent 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:
