The EDCON 2019 (Community Ethereum Development Conference) is the non-profit global conference which will happen in Sydney, Australia in April 2019. The purpose of the conference is to improve communication among the various communities and to promote Ethereum ecosystem development on a global scale. EDCON is organized as a conference series, once a year in different countries. The previous EDCONs were held successfully in ESCP Europe, Paris 2017, and Ryerson University, Toronto 2018 (both were oganized by LinkTime, a Chinese community representative). The Ethereum Foundation and various Ethereum communities have been showing their strongly supports to our high quality community conferences.
While this time, the event will be taking place with an even larger scale, and the brand will also grow into something larger with the introduction of EDCON Week, which covers:
(1) EDCON Hackathon: a two-day event for developers.
(2) EDCON Conference: a three-day conference. Core Ethereum development teams will be invited to talk about the latest updates on Ethereum research and technology, and other great minds will share their thoughts on the current trends, projects and applications, as well as community development.
(3) EDCON "Having Fun" day: a one-day outdoor activity. We hope that this will provide an opportunity to interact with community members in a more informal setting, as well as relax after a week of hacking and sessions.
We sincerely welcome and invite friends from Ethereum communities worldwide to participate in this event. We welcome anyone to register to speak, and the topics collected will be reviewed by our consultant team to make sure that we are creating a top-quality event and can be as inclusive and fair as possible.
