Highlighting Southeast Asia as a Leading Hub for Blockchain Innovation

By fostering collaboration and impactful connections, Devcon SEA aims to elevate the region's developer and entrepreneur community while creating lasting social and economic benefits.
Ethereum, the leading programmable blockchain, has pioneered transformative applications that are redefining industries and promoting inclusivity worldwide. Devcon SEA will showcase Ethereum’s latest advancements, emphasizing its ability to drive transparency, security, and efficiency in various sectors through decentralized applications and smart contracts. This event reinforces Ethereum’s position as a driver of global change with the potential to reshape industries and support a more equitable world.
Attendees will gain insights from influential speakers, including the co-founder of Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, Executive Director of the Ethereum Foundation, Aya Miyaguchi, and other notable figures such as Matthew Tan of Etherscan, TN Lee of Pendle, and Loi Luu of Kyber Network. Community-led sessions will further enrich the event, exploring Ethereum’s real-world applications and interdisciplinary themes.
Skylar Weaver, the Devcon Lead at Ethereum Foundation commented, “We see tremendous potential in Thailand and Southeast Asia, with a large user base and skilled developer community. Hosting Devcon SEA in Bangkok will create an unparalleled opportunity for local developers and entrepreneurs to connect with the international Ethereum community. Building on the successes of the last two years of hard work and innovation, we’re committed to making this event our most impactful yet.”
With nearly 30% of attendees coming from Southeast Asia and South Asia—and 10% from Thailand alone—Devcon SEA will spotlight the region's vibrant blockchain ecosystem. This offers a unique opportunity for local developers and entrepreneurs to connect with the global Ethereum community and foster new projects that will contribute to both local and international growth.
The Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), Bangkok’s premier convention venue, will provide an ideal space for Devcon SEA's largest gathering to date. “The QSNCC's modern facilities and ample space provide the perfect environment for our attendees, which include developers, engineers, designers, and researchers,” added Weaver.
