Why speak at Devcon?

Thousands of attendees

Devcon is where the people behind decentralized systems come together to learn, build, and connect.

Speaking at Devcon allows you to reach those communities directly.

Open to everyone

There's no speaker bureau or invite list and speaker applications are fully open to the general public.

If you have knowledge to share on our Track topics, we want to hear from you.

Put principles into practice

Devcon is where open source, privacy, security, and censorship resistance move from ideas into real systems.

If your work makes these principles more accessible, share it on the Devcon stage.
