Devcon

Dear Ethereum community, builders, and researchers, At the first-ever Devconnect last year in Amsterdam in 2022, we came together for a week of in-depth workshops and discussions. Many that participated in the sessions and conversations told us they felt Devconnect had a significant impact on the ecosystem by driving progress in tangible ways. Many expressed their wishes for Devconnect to happen again, and after we saw the impact, we strongly agreed. Today, we can finally share that Devconnect is coming back and is planned for November 13-19 this year in Istanbul! 🇹🇷

Last year, after a three-year-long pause, we emerged from the pandemic stronger than before and reunited in Bogotá for the largest and some would say, “best Devcon yet.” Since then, we were frequently asked “wen Devcon 7?” Well, today, we have some news! 😃 🎉

A few weeks ago in October, much of the Ethereum community came together in South America as we reunited for Devcon VI in Bogotá, Colombia! Today we want to say Thank You(!) to every attendee, volunteer, and contributor that made Devcon VI a success. In this blog post, we will recap the highlights of an incredibly fun event, and reminisce about Community Hubs, the Road to Devcon, insightful talks and panels, beautifully designed presenter rooms, and much more. Watch the Recap Video to refresh your memory and enjoy the Devcon VI vibe!

This year’s Devcon is special in many ways. We’ve used the last three years to create a whole new experience based on all that we’ve seen at past Devcons, and lessons learned while event-planning during the pandemic. Devcon VI involved the community via Community Hubs and Devcon Improvement Proposals (DIPs), features a Public Goods Supporters Program that replaces a traditional sponsorship effort, and will introduce Impact Booths in Bogotá.
