EDCON is an annual global Community Ethereum Development conference, aiming to boost the communication and interaction of Ethereum communities worldwide and to accelerate the development of Ethereum ecosystem.
EDCON has made quite effects on blockchain tech in the previous years. Till now, EDCON has grown into an anticipated and influential conference series. With the support from the Ethereum Foundation, EDCON2019 will continuously contribute to the Ethereum community. To improve the communication and integration among the various global Ethereum communities and to promote the development of Ethereum ecosystem, EDCON will continuously focus on enhancing the engagement of global Ethereum communities.
EDCONs were held successfully at ESCP Europe, Paris, France in February 2017, and at Ryerson University, Toronto, Canada in May 2018. The EDCON series overall invited nearly 200 speakers to discuss the development of Ethereum technology, and attracted over 1000 participants, who traveled from all over the world for EDCON! The event is expected to have an even larger scale this time. It will be presented in the form of “EDCON Week”, which covers:
- EDCON Hackathon: an event with non-stop creative storming for participants.
- EDCON Conference: Core Ethereum development teams will be invited to talk about the latest updates on the Ethereum research and technology; other great minds will share their thoughts on the current trends, projects and applications, as well as their community building and development plans.
- EDCON “Having Fun” day: There will be outdoor activities. We hope that this will provide the community members a chance to interact with each other in an informal setting; besides, it would also be great to relax after a week of hacking and sessions.
The conference is expected to attract 1000+ attendees, and possibly 100+ worldwide founders and developers for EDCON2019.
