Hi Ethereum frens,

With just 13 days to go until Devcon, we’re amazed by how huge this year’s event will be! Our expected number of attendees has doubled since last time (12,000 vs. 6,000 in Bogotá), we have more than twice the number of Community Hubs and Impact Spaces, and we received double the amount of talk submissions. The Ethereum ecosystem has evolved significantly in its technology, and as the community has grown stronger, more global, and more active than ever. You will witness this all at Devcon SEA, through both technical content for developers as well as sessions for community builders, artists, writers, researchers, and more.

Over the past few weeks it’s become clear that everyone will be at Devcon. We’ll learn, teach, collaborate, and celebrate together as we work towards a more free, private, secure, and decentralized internet. The Devcon schedule is live You can now view all sessions, talks, panels, and workshops in the Devcon Passport app here, covering 300 hours of Devcon content.
