What is NEO Devcon

Devcon is the annual NEO developers conference and is known as one of the most important annual events from within the blockchain industry. It is rare that an event manages to attract so many creative and technical minds in order to discuss the future of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. Devcon is a truly innovative platform that attracts both experienced and new developers alike, in order to share, collaborate and learn. As a part of the event, prolific speakers take to the stage to share their knowledge and insight with the NEO community in order to help highlight the next steps for NEO, as well as in discussing important parts of NEO’s history and the current work from the NEO development team.

The event, takes place at the Hyatt Regency in Seattle, Washington, between the 16th of February and the 17th of February 2019.

According to the Devcon website:

“NEO is a community-driven, open-source blockchain platform. The project was initiated in 2014 and open-sourced on Github in 2015. Its mainnet has maintained stable operation for two and a half years. It upholds the vision of realizing a programmable, digitized and trustless ‘smart economy’ with millions of community members making active contributions across the globe. NEO is one of the most developer-friendly public blockchain projects and decentralized application platforms, offering robust infrastructure,  a variety of APIs and SDKs, a comprehensive smart contract system and easily accessible support to community developers.”

The event allows developers to showcase their latest ideas and products on a truly international scale, reaching a huge audience of like minded individuals, all of whom are equally bullish about the technology behind NEO. Some of the Devcon prolific speakers include Da Hongfei and Erik Zhang, the Co-Founders and CEO’s of NEO.

Students and developers are also able to access free tickets, in a bid to make this event as transparent as possible for the entire blockchain community. As highlighted in our recent coverage of this story:  

“The NEO team expects to attract young developers and students to the event with free tickets so they can learn more about the ambitious ‘smart economy’ project and pick up valuable blockchain development skills at the workshops. Free access to the event and expert workshops is part of the NEO team’s strategy to unleash a wave of innovation and development activity on the NEO blockchain. Young students and developers can learn how to develop their first decentralized application (dApp), create a smart contract, or deploy solutions on the blockchain. Widening the base of young blockchain experts is seen as a way to augment the already thriving NEO developer community.”
