DevCon 5 2019 | Stiftung Ethereum | 8 October 2019 | ATC Hall, 2 Chome-1-１０ Nankokita, Suminoe Ward, Osaka, 559-0034, Japan

Devcon is an annual gathering held by the Ethereum Foundation. For new explorers of the Ethereum space, Devcon is an intensive introduction to new worlds of thought. For those already embedded it is a family reunion, and a source of energy and creativity.

Programming covers content ranging from the deeply technical to the profoundly human. This is a conference for builders of all kinds: developers, designers, researchers, client implementers, test engineers, infrastructure operators, community organizers, social economists and artists.

We host Devcon to educate and empower the community to build and use decentralized systems. Our goal is to push the boundaries of possibility in our mission to bring decentralized protocols, tools, and culture to the world.
