Why we come collectively
Each two years, the Ethereum group 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, group leaders, and changemakers step out of their silos and collect in a single place to share information, align on Ethereum’s future path, 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 huge occasion happening 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 instructional occasions earlier than and after Devcon. We encourage organizers to plan round the primary Devcon schedule, as we won’t be itemizing occasions that happen throughout Devcon days to maintain Devcon the primary schelling level.
Audio system
This 12 months, Devcon obtained practically 3,000 speaker functions, doubling the quantity from Devcon VI.
Some highlighted audio system embody:
- 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 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 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 functions.
-
Creating on Ethereum: BuidlGuidl will provide hands-on classes for each newbie and superior builders to construct decentralized functions 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 comparable 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 good contracts and software program programs, permitting researchers and builders to attach.
If you happen to’re trying to arrange 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.
Group Hubs are areas, organized by the group, for deep dives into particular Ethereum-related subjects and to satisfy individuals working in particular Ethereum-related fields. Listed below are the featured Group Hubs:
