(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Greetings, Ethereum builders and enthusiasts!

We’re thrilled to announce that ticket sales for the Devconnect Cowork in Istanbul are now open! 🥳

You can get your tickets here,and also see that our website got a fresh new makeover! 💅

Come back here right after you snagged your ticket, to learn more about the Devconnect Cowork, planning your trip to Istanbul, and what to expect from the Devconnect schedule.

The Legendary Devconnect Cowork 💻🦄

The concept of Devconnect works only because of the independent teams that organize events during Devconnect week. One thing we (the Devconnect team) are aiming to do is provide you with the best coworking experience you’ve ever had. Our mission is to foster collaboration and community. Consider the Cowork your meeting point, workspace, and place to unwind during Devconnect.

For 10€, you’ll gain access to the official Devconnect Cowork for the entire Devconnect week from November 13-19. The Cowork will be in the Istanbul Congress Center (ICC).

Head over to our brand new website for more information on the Cowork, and (of course) to get your ticket! We aim for the Devconnect Cowork alone to provide ample opportunities to connect, network, and learn.

Remember, you will need separate tickets for each of the events you want to attend. All events are independently hosted, and the teams will handle their ticketing. Check out our curated schedule to find your favorite events.

Announcing The Devconnect Istanbul Scholars Program

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

We are thrilled to announce the first-ever Devconnect Scholars Program!

The Devconnect Scholars Program will provide talented and values-aligned individuals from communities currently geographically and demographically underrepresented in Ethereum with financial support to attend Devconnect in Istanbul this November.

Apply to the program here by July 23rd, 2023.

Why The Program Exists & Program Details

For Ethereum to be a resilient and thriving protocol for human coordination – in the long term and for all humans – we believe there is a need for more diverse perspectives representing various geographies and demographics.

Scholars are expected to bring their unique viewpoints and experiences to conversations at Devconnect that help shape Ethereum’s future. After Devconnect, they will apply their learnings to their respective communities to push Ethereum’s boundaries.

Program Details

Devconnect Scholars will receive financial support for transportation, accommodation, per diem, and visa application. Additionally, there will be online and in-person meetings for Scholars to get to know each other, learn, and prepare for the best experience in Istanbul.

Selection Criteria

We are looking for individuals with experience and/or knowledge in protocol development, web3 development, privacy, security, cryptoeconomics, UX, and governance.

Applicants must be a member of a community that is currently underrepresented in Ethereum. We define underrepresented communities in two main categories:

Geographic: Applicants from countries that lack representation in Ethereum as well as applicants from Turkey and neighboring countries.

Demographic: Applicants that represent a minority gender, ethnicity, or other demographic identity that is currently underrepresented in Ethereum.

Individuals who are unable to attend Devconnect without financial support are eligible to apply.

Applicants must be able to attend Devconnect from November 13-19, 2023.

Applicants must be able to communicate in English.

The program requires a time commitment of approximately two hours per week from September to November 2023.

Strong preference will be given to applicants who are yet to attend a large Ethereum conference (500+ people).

Apply Or Nominate Today!

If you are interested in becoming a Devconnect Scholar, complete the application form here. Applications will be reviewed, and shortlisted candidates will be contacted for an interview by early August.

If you know an individual who might be interested in the Devconnect Scholars Program, we encourage you to nominate them using this form.

Please contact [email protected] with any questions.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Devconnect is back! See you this year in Istanbul.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();

Dear Ethereum community, builders, and researchers,

At the first-ever Devconnect last year in Amsterdam in 2022, we came together for a week of in-depth workshops and discussions. Many that participated in the sessions and conversations told us they felt Devconnect had a significant impact on the ecosystem by driving progress in tangible ways.

Many expressed their wishes for Devconnect to happen again, and after we saw the impact, we strongly agreed. Today, we can finally share that Devconnect is coming back and is planned for November 13-19 this year in Istanbul! 🇹🇷

What is Devconnect?

Devconnect is a week-long gathering that features independent Ethereum events, each with a unique focus. The goal is to focus on in-depth sessions on specific topics and to bring the Ethereum community together in smaller groups to talk, learn about, and make serious progress in specific subjects. Events during Devconnect will be independent and hosted by experts in those domains — which could be you! Our team will help foster coordination so that hosts have logistical help, and assurance that there’s minimal overlap of similar domains to avoid pulling participants in different directions. Throughout the week we will also maintain a coworking space for collaboration for all who are interested.

Most events will target an audience of experts or enthusiasts in the specific domain of the event to enable thorough understanding and discussions. Unlike a usual conference, we want this week-long gathering to facilitate the deep discussions and conversations that are needed to continue to improve Ethereum.

Devconnect is a natural candidate to apply subtraction, and we’re looking forward to seeing the events, impact, and progress the community can create during this week. If you’d like to host an event, stay tuned for more resources and information.

Additionally, we would also like to emphasize that Devconnect ≠ Devcon, which will remain our principal event, and we’re excited to bring Devcon 7 to Southeast Asia in 2024.

Why Istanbul 🇹🇷

Over the past months, we saw one community of developers and students stand out: the Turkish Ethereum community has worked hard to promote Istanbul. Nonetheless, we thoroughly evaluated many options for the location of Devconnect 2023, visited several potential locations, toured venues, and checked for availability. We considered many options and evaluated each location before making our final decision.

We are excited to bring Devconnect to Istanbul, the vibrant metropolis of Türkiye, where two continents meet, and we look forward to hosting an incredible event for the global Ethereum developer community.

But while we want this to be a joyful message, we also recognize and have had on our minds the devastating earthquakes that so heavily impacted southeast Turkey and northwest Syria, and affected the lives of millions. Our hearts go out to all who lost loved ones or their homes.

The region will need support for a long time, and if you like to contribute to the donations, here is a list that some members of the community have put together. We hope the decision to bring Devconnect to Istanbul can show our support, and encourage others to support this region in different ways.

We understand that concerns about earthquake safety might be on your mind. While Istanbul was not physically impacted by the recent earthquake, we will keep monitoring the situation closely. We hope to meet you soon and together, let us create something meaningful and special in Istanbul during Devconnect this November.

In choosing Istanbul as the host city for Devconnect 2023, we aim to capitalize on its unique position as a bridge between East and West. Accessibility is a key priority, and obtaining visas for attendees from most countries will be relatively easy. Istanbul, being one of the world’s leading tourist hubs, is well-equipped with a major international airport to welcome visitors from around the globe. Istanbul’s efficient local metro, and abundance of suitable venues for community events make it the perfect location for Devconnect 2023.

The engaged local community and numerous student blockchain clubs in the region further strengthen our belief in the potential of this vibrant city. We are confident that Istanbul’s unique blend of history, culture, and modernity will provide an inspiring backdrop for the global Ethereum developer community to come together, collaborate with these passionate groups, and drive innovation for Ethereum.

TL;DR

Mark your calendars: Devconnect IST, November 13-19, 2023.

More updates, details, and a schedule of events coming soon on our website and on Twitter! In the meantime, see you at one of the many other community events happening this year.
