Queridos amigos,
It happens. Devcon is back!
When we first announced that Devcon would take place in Bogotá, we talked about everything the city had to offerand what we dreamed this event could become.
Later this year we will Finally meet in Bogota. With Devconnect now envelopeour team is working to bring Devconnect’s older sister, Devcon, to life. We look forward to uniting the Ethereum ecosystem in the dynamic capital of Colombia.
But enough teasers! Today we’re releasing details on ticketing, speaker applications, supporter information and much more. Appreciate!

Speaker applications
You can now apply to speak, give a workshop, or host a panel at Devcon VI! Applications are open until Jun 27 23:59:59 UTC.
Aligned values
If you are a builder, creator, or thinker who wants to improve this world through decentralization and using Ethereum, we would love for you to apply to be a speaker at Devcon VI.
We’re looking for content that ranges from the deeply technological to the deeply human. We encourage applications from all community members who are dedicated to a specific cause and want to engage participants with a holistic approach.
Speaking slots include (but are not limited to) discussions. You can apply to host a workshop, panel or lightning talk.
Empowerment
Ethereum is global and with Devcon we want to help grow communities in different locations around the world. We are actively seeking a diverse set of speakers to reflect the diversity of the Ethereum community. This year, Devcon is bringing the Ethereum community to Colombia and we encourage voices from the LatAm community to apply as speakers.
Application process
Applications are open until June 27 23:59:59 UTC. You should get a response on the status of your application before the end of July.
Places are limited and the process is very competitive, so be sure to include all important information in your application. Each application will be reviewed by at least two reviewers and, although their decision is final, if you are not accepted, there are still many other ways to get involved with Devcon VI, for example by submit a DIP.
Head to the Devcon programming page for more information on session formats, the benefits of speaking at Devcon VI, expectations, this year’s track themes, and how to apply. Please contact support@devcon.org if you have any further questions.
Supporter Program
This year we are trying something new: a support program instead of traditional sponsorships.
How does it work?
Aligned teams will have the opportunity to contribute to Ethereum-related public goods to grow the Ethereum ecosystem, as well as other technologies that help us move forward together.
As a thank you, we will award Devcon VI Supporter Tickets to those who give back to the community by supporting public goods that benefit Ethereum.
Who can participate?
If you are building applications or infrastructure that benefits Ethereum and would like to participate or learn more, click here to inquire for more information!*.
*As Supporter ticket availability is very limited, entities are subject to review before participating in the Devcon Supporter cycle..
Location
It’s been a while since we’ve shared information about this year’s Devcon location. So let’s go back and recap the best parts again!
Bogota
We weighed different factors and community feedback to choose the ideal location for our next gathering, and we believe Bogotá is the right place to host Devcon VI. For what?
Bogota is one of the most popular cities in Latin America and its streets are full of art, culture, flavors and history.
The place
We couldn’t be more excited about the Devcon VI venue: The Agora Bogotá Conference Center.
It’s fully modern and equipped with Wi-Fi, meeting spaces and everything a conference like Devcon needs. It is also minutes from Bogotá’s El Dorado International Airport and the historic districts of Santa Fe and Candelaria.
One of the reasons for organizing Devcon VI in Colombia is the potential for community growth in Latin America. The road to Devcon is paved with Ethereum Events in Latin America and we are amazed to see the community growing!
For more information on why Bogotá and what to expect, check out our City guide
Stay tuned for more!
Get ready to get those tickets and speaking roles. We’ll be sharing more information with you over the coming weeks, and the pace is about to pick up. Keep an eye out for volunteer opportunities, more details on the sections above, recommendations for your stay, travel and much more.
Xoxo, 🦄
