In our last articleWe introduced Devconnect as a week-long gathering that will feature independent Ethereum events, which aim to bring the Ethereum community together in small groups to talk, learn more, or make serious progress on specific topics. Learn more about Devconnect.org
Devconnect dates announced
Save the date: Devconnect is scheduled to take place in Amsterdam between April 18 and 25, 2022.
As we continue to closely monitor the evolution of COVID-related measures in Amsterdam, things are moving in the right direction and we are organizing quickly. With that, we wanted to share a lot more about what you’ll find in Amsterdam.
By (and for) everyone: Devconnect’s evolving calendar
Let’s talk about content. Each Devconnect Week event will be independently curated and curated by experts in different fields, as innovators look to continue improving Ethereum.
Keep in mind that we want Devconnect to be productive, which means smaller audiences for a few events, as competent experts in these specific fields get to work. Most of this, including ticketing, is up to the organizers of each session (not the Devconnect team). And we will keep our schedule updated at Devconnect.org so you can see other additions as they come together.
Oh (!), and there will be a space where everyone can collaborate, we’ll talk about that in a moment!
What types of summits are now on the calendar? Here are a few – check out the Disconnect schedule for the full list!
