<\/g><\/svg><\/a>What Devcon is all about<\/h2>\n

Now that we\u2019re well into the new year, our Devcon team wanted to share some of our thinking on what\u2019s to come for Devcon this year. With new goals driving this year\u2019s effort, we\u2019ve learned from successes and challenges in recent years, and we\u2019ll provide some early details on what\u2019s ahead.<\/p>\n

For those that are new to the Ethereum family, Devcon is the only annual gathering held by the Ethereum Foundation, and it dates back to a small meetup in Berlin (\u00d0\u039eVcon-0) about a year prior to the launch of the network. For some members of the Ethereum ecosystem, Devcon is a family reunion of sorts, while for others it\u2019s a large stage on which to speak to the latest breakthroughs on content ranging from technical research to application releases and more.<\/p>\n

Over the years, it has become clear that Devcon serves the community in other ways too. As we plan for Devcon 6, we\u2019re working to define those goals, and to ensure that Devcon accomplishes each of them:<\/p>\n

1. Collaboration & knowledge sharing<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Devcon is a place where a lot of work gets done. It\u2019s a chance to be in the same room as everyone else in the community working on a specific problem. It\u2019s critical that attendees be able to find meeting space, a space to talk, to pull up to a whiteboard, and get to work.<\/p>\n

2. Teaching, communicating, and generating new ideas<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Devcon is a chance to learn, and to teach! People travel to Devcon to understand the cutting edge in the Ethereum space, and to share what they have learned over the last year with a large audience both at the event, and online.<\/p>\n

3. Use our biggest stage to send a message<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Devcon is a critical opportunity to communicate with the world about Ethereum. As the largest conference in our industry, the broader technology space and mainstream organizations pay attention to Devcon. Let\u2019s show them what we\u2019ve accomplished.<\/p>\n

4. Using tech built on Ethereum through \u201cdogfooding\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Devcon is a conference made by and for our community and it should make use of tools built by our community where possible and beneficial to attendees. In the spirit of educating our community and supporting Ethereum-based projects, Devcon should enable attendees to experiment first-hand with products built on Ethereum.<\/p>\n

5. Growing the Ethereum Ecosystem<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Devcon is an opportunity for each of us to engage with those from other teams and communities, both from Ethereum and blockchain related teams and newcomers from other industries. In past years, we\u2019ve collaborated with UNICEF and the Internet Archive on stage, and brought the zero-knowledge community into the fold. Many people unfamiliar with the Ethereum ecosystem attend Devcon, and while this is a dev<\/strong>elopers con<\/strong>ference, they should feel welcome and inspired by our amazing community by the week\u2019s end.<\/p>\n

<\/g><\/svg><\/a>Listening and Learning<\/h2>\n

Our ecosystem has matured and is constantly improving, and we know that Devcon should keep pace. On this, the entire team wanted to first pass along a thank you<\/em> for the constructive feedback that we\u2019re confident will help lead to the best event that we\u2019ve held to date.<\/p>\n

Specifically, planning for Devcon (dc\u27e0vi<\/em>) has honed in on 6 key areas to make for a better attendee experience.<\/p>\n

Specifically, we\u2019ve aimed to find a venue with:<\/p>\n
