It’s been a while and we have some news.
👋 It’s happening! 👋
After being locked up for the past few years, it’s exciting to finally be able to say that Devcon 6 will take place in the first half of the fourth quarter of 2022 in Bogota, Colombia. We know Devcon holds a special place in everyone’s hearts (ours too!), and we look forward to sharing more information very soon (stay tuned!).
In the meantime, the road to Devcon continues with another project we have been working on recently.
Meet a little something new
Disconnect is a week-long gathering in Amsterdam that will feature independent Ethereum events, each with a unique focus. The goal is to focus first on in-depth sessions rather than size, and to bring the Ethereum community together in small groups to talk, learn, or make serious progress on specific topics.
Unlike a typical conference, we want this week-long gathering to facilitate the in-depth discussions and conversations needed to continue improving Ethereum. Each discussion during Devconnect will be hosted and organized by experts in these fields. The FE will help foster coordination so that experts and teams benefit from logistical and production support, and assurance that there is minimal overlap of similar areas to avoid pulling builders in different directions .
Most importantly, we want Devconnect to be productive! This means that, for all gatherings and workshops, we aim to have an audience made up of relevant experts or people who are very interested in a specific field.
As for anyone who comes to town and wants to hang out and work together between sessions, we will maintain a coworking space for collaboration for anyone who is interested.
What can we achieve with one week of construction?
With all the new challenges the world is facing and the opportunities Ethereum is seizing, this year the EF decided to try something new.
It’s great to see that familiar major events have started to come back into action – in the meantime, we’ve started to build Devconnect as something a little different. The ideas for Devcon have been developed and iterated since we were together in Osaka, and while major events like Devcon remain the main productive and incredible part of our ecosystem, we hope that this new type of gathering can be complementary and have a impact in new ways.
When will we be able to find out more?
Stay tuned Devconnect.organd to @EFDevconnect on Twitter for more information on exact dates and locations soon, as well as on the EF blog.
And if you want to organize a Devconnect event, reach out! We look forward to meeting in Amsterdam in April and Bogota later in 2022. See you soon.
Devconneeccctttttt!
