The Ethereum Foundation has announced that Devcon 7, the Ethereum developer conference, will be hosted in Bangkok, Thailand, from November 12 to 15, 2024. The decision reflects an expansion of the event’s vision, with a focus on embracing the entire Southeast Asia region as the stage for the community gathering.
The Ethereum Foundation expressed its excitement about the potential and rapid growth of the Ethereum community in Southeast Asia. The decision to schedule Devcon 7 for 2024 allows for a more significant impact on regional Ethereum communities. The Foundation aims to engage more deeply with local communities, providing support and empowerment in a meaningful way.
Devcon Southeast Asia: A More Inclusive Event
According to the announcement, Devcon 7 will be a more inclusive and regionally focused event, and to reflect this vision, it will be called “Devcon Southeast Asia” rather than being named after the host city. The event is expected to resonate across Southeast Asia, showcasing the vibrant Ethereum community in the region.
The choice of Bangkok, Thailand, as the host city aligns with the region’s significant potential and rapid growth in cryptocurrency adoption. The Ethereum community in countries like Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand ranks highly in the Global Crypto Adoption Index, underscoring the pivotal role of Southeast Asia in the global Ethereum landscape.
The decision to focus on Southeast Asia is driven not only by the region’s significant potential and rapid cryptocurrency adoption but also by its diverse cultures, rich histories, and vibrant communities. “Devcon Southeast Asia” aims to resonate across the region, showcasing the vibrant Ethereum community and enveloping the diverse cultures and energy of Southeast Asia. The chosen host city, Bangkok, Thailand, with its unique blend of tradition and modernity, is considered an ideal location in terms of venue suitability and global accessibility. The event is expected to provide a platform for meaningful engagement with local communities and further empower the Ethereum ecosystem in Southeast Asia.
