In two weeks, we open the doors of the first ever global expo of Ethereum at La Rural in Buenos Aires.
This year is not a day. It’s about now. Today, on Ethereum, you can pay, play, vote, save, borrow, lend, and chat, all on-chain – and at Devconnect, you’ll experience this change hands-on, IRL.
Buenos Aires is the perfect setting for this moment: a city where crypto is part of everyday life and builders are ready to show what’s happening live.
Below you’ll find your guide to what’s inside the fairgrounds, how to plan your week, and what to do before you arrive.
Inside La Rural: a city within a city
La Rural is our home port: 35,000 m² under one roofand set it up so you can spend your week immersed in Ethereum.
- More than 40 events and workshops about ZK, AI, app building and more
- Discussion corners and community centers for deep dives and connections
- From the essential to the extravagance: coworking and meeting rooms, access stations, food trucks (payment with crypto), live music, cinema and football field
It’s all under one roof, easy to navigate, and designed to make meeting and exploring projects easier.
Ethereum World Expo: Ethereum in Action
At the center of Devconnect is the Ethereum World Expo: 75+ teams presenting live applications in the themed districts.
