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 know-how 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 route, 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 large 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 primary Devcon schedule, as we is not going to be itemizing occasions that happen throughout Devcon days to maintain Devcon the primary schelling level.
Audio system
This yr, Devcon obtained almost 3,000 speaker purposes, doubling the quantity from Devcon VI.
Some highlighted audio system embody:
- 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 Challenge): Sharing classes realized from the Tor group, 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 venture buildings and group constructing.
- Gubsheep (Co-founder of 0xPARC): Exploring programmable cryptography and its impression on dApps and the creation of totally new digital worlds.
