Volunteers
Volunteering is a great way to get started in the Ethereum community (next to contributing to open-source projects and improving the tools you use). Volunteering means helping out during the event, working closely with the Devcon team, building strong bonds and friendships, and meeting others who can help you move forward.
Apply to volunteer at Devcon here.
Ethereum SEA Day
Ethereum SEA Day is a 1-day event on November 11, the day before Devcon. It aims to bring together and advance the Ethereum ecosystem in Southeast Asia.
The event will focus on the region, featuring introductory content, community leaders and SEA initiatives. Newcomers to Ethereum from SEA are more than welcome!
Read more and share your ideas here.
SEA & Bangkok travel guide
As we gather in Bangkok for Devcon as a community of many remote workers and digital nomads, some of you might want to come early and stay longer. We’ve created a City Guide with the best places to stay, eat, and explore.
Plan your travels to Devcon with the Bangkok City Guide.
There are also many Ethereum communities to visit throughout Southeast Asia, and some bigger Ethereum events happen close to the Devcon dates.
Check the events in Southeast Asia before and right after Devcon here.
Ongoing Devcon initiatives & programs
Supporter Program
This is a chance for teams and companies to receive Devcon tickets in bulk for the whole team and support Ethereum-related public goods on the side! We are trying out a new way of funding important Ethereum projects, giving out Devcon Supporter tickets as a thank you to those who contribute financially.
Apply as a Supporter of important Ethereum projects here before 31 July!
Impact Teams
We are offering 2 Devcon tickets to teams with high impact on Ethereum. Impact Teams work on making a difference, they might be considered public goods, are non-profits, and lack stable funding.
Apply as Impact Team here ahead of the 31 July deadline!
DIPs & dogfooding
Devcon Improvement Proposals (DIPs) are your chance to suggest improvements for Devcon and what Ethereum open-source projects we should dogfood during or before the event. Dogfooding means using our own tech, and we want to use more Ethereum tech where it makes sense and benefits all attendees.
Working on an open-source Ethereum project, focused on bringing value, and see an opportunity to improve the event or engage the community? Write a short post on the Forum, and we can discuss it with the community.
Road to Devcon
If you’re in Southeast Asia, community-driven, and passionate about Ethereum, we are here to support you!
