Ethereum SEA Day
Ethereum SEA Day is a one-day event taking place on November 11, the day before Devcon. It aims to bring together and advance the Ethereum ecosystem in Southeast Asia.
The event will focus on the region, with introductory content, community leaders, and SEA initiatives. Ethereum newcomers from SEA are more than welcome!

Sea and Bangkok Travel Guide
As we gather in Bangkok for Devcon as a community of many remote workers and digital nomads, some of you may want to come early and stay longer. We’ve created a city guide with the best places to stay, eat, and explore.
Plan your Devcon trips with Bangkok city guide.
There are also plenty of Ethereum communities to visit throughout Southeast Asia, and some larger Ethereum events happen close to Devcon dates.
Check out events in Southeast Asia before and just after Devcon here.
Current Devcon Initiatives and Programs
Support program
This is an opportunity for teams and companies to receive Devcon tickets in bulk for the entire team and support Ethereum-related public goods at the same time! We’re testing a new way to fund important Ethereum projects, by distributing Devcon Supporter tickets as a thank you to those who contribute financially.
Apply to support major Ethereum projects here before July 31st!
Impact Teams
We are offering 2 Devcon tickets to teams with a significant impact on Ethereum. Impact teams work to make a difference, they can be considered public goods, are non-profit and lack stable funding.
Apply as an Impact Team here before the July 31 deadline!
Dips and dogfooding
Devcon Improvement Proposals (DIPs) are your chance to suggest improvements to Devcon and Ethereum open source projects that we should dogfood during or before the event. Dogfooding means using our own technology, and we want to use more Ethereum technology where it makes sense and benefits all attendees.
Are you working on an open source Ethereum project, focused on delivering value, and see an opportunity to improve the event or engage the community? Write a short message on the Forumand we can discuss it with the community.
On the way to Devcon
