The Ethereum Devcon Team has given the public a teaser on what to expect for Devcon 6 and the things that they are hoping the conference is for its audience. The event which is held by the Ethereum Foundation will be seeing its 6th iteration this year.
The conference is a networking opportunity for Ethereum developers, a platform for new technologies to see that light of the day, and if anything, a place for cryptocurrency enthusiasts to come together to see the best and the bleeding edge of what Ethereum has to offer.
For this year’s edition, the team has announced in a blog post that they hope to be able to bring together as many people from the community to collaborate and network to pool in new ideas and work together on existing ones.
They also want this to be a place where people can learn more about Ethereum, while also using the platform offered by the conference to bring forth new technologies and developments to the community.
The team has mentioned a clear interest in catering ideas from the community to the community itself by using technologies and tools built by the community to serve the audience at the conference if the use case arises.
This will increase awareness of solutions to existing problems present in the Ethereum ecosystem while sparking ideas for new ones. And finally, Devcon, most importantly, wants to be a catalyst to the growth of the Ethereum network by building its community.
The team working on Devcon 6 also promises to make this year’s experience better for its audience by hosting at a venue with a good WiFi infrastructure, improved spaces and organized flow of events, better food catering options, better programming and stage selection, fairer ticketing systems, and more integration with tools from the ecosystem itself.
Devcon 6 will mark the first conference where the Ethereum 2 beacon chain is live and will have had ether staked on the chain. The team is currently focused on finding the right venue that can provide the right experience for all its attendees, focusing on the key aspects that were mentioned above too.
The team promises more detailed updates on each of its new planned features for Devcon 6 in the coming weeks and hopes to make this year’s gathering a standard to be followed in the years to come.
