Upcoming Devcon 2021 and other events
The Ethereum Foundation just announced the next Devcon in 2021 in Colombia
Biggest virtual hackathon almost finished
First of all, the current HackMoney event has come to an end and it has been a massive success. One can only imagine what kind of cool projects people have built in a 30 days hackathon. All final projects can be seen at: https://hack.ethglobal.co/online/showcase. Winners will be announced shortly and the next virtual hackathon is already in the planning.
Devcon 2021
While just a few months ago, the Ethereum foundation delayed announcing any future plans and the next Devcon for this year sounded a bit uncertain.
However, new information was now announced. And now we know there won't be a Devcon 2020. It will be next year. Key take aways for the new Devcon 6:
- Where: Bogotá, Colombia
- Venue: Agora Bogotá Convention Center ('by far the best venue to ever host Devcon')
- When: Some time in 2021 (maybe February or March?)
- Addressing safety concerns
This certainly sounds exciting. A better venue than at Devcon 5 is much needed. If you have never been to a Devcon, get some impressions from my last Devcon review. It is much more than just a conference and will be worth it for many people, even if you just started learning Solidity.
More impressions from the conference itself and a pretty good archive of every Devcon so far (incl videos!) can be found at https://archive.devcon.org/.
