The [Ethereum Foundation](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum-foundation-ef) announced that the event will be hosted at the JIO World Center. [\\[12\\]](#cite-id-ZNYSdVf0Ze6VlWqL)​\n\n## Past Editions\n\nDevcon originated in 2014 in Berlin Kreuzberg as a meet-up named Devcon 0 for the co-founders and early builders of [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum). Since then, the conference has traveled to various locations worldwide, including Berlin, London, Shanghai, Cancún, Prague, Osaka, and Bogotá. [\\[3\\]](#cite-id-4z3seukti2t)​\n\n### Devcon 7 (2024)\n\nThe 2024 edition, Devcon 7, took place in Bangkok, Thailand, from November 12th to 15th. For this event, community members could initiate and submit proposals through [Devcon Improvement Proposals (DIPs)](https://iq.wiki/wiki/devcon-improvement-proposals). [\\[1\\]](#cite-id-7md2uutppg)​\n\n#### The Road to Devcon Grants\n\nIn collaboration with the Ecosystem Support team, this funding round was designed to offer small sponsorships (up to $1,000) to assist with covering costs related to organizing small-scale events, like local meetups or workshops, and other educational initiatives in the community. [\\[2\\]](#cite-id-wzryd3kv0tg)​\n\nThe grant was open to organizers of various community initiatives, such as meetups, university clubs, workshops, hackathons, grassroots communities, local education projects, and other creative community efforts. Eligible events were required to focus on [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), be free to attend, open to anyone, and not centered around investment, price, or token sales. Events that had already taken place were not eligible, and they had to be concentrated in Southeast Asia or nearby regions. To apply, organizers needed to submit a form with their event idea and a detailed budget request. If approved, the organizing team was notified, and an invoice request for the approved budget was sent. Organizers were then required to host and document the event, including taking photos and obtaining presentation materials. After the event, a review and documentation material was to be submitted to the Devcon team. The selection criteria included assessing the audience size, the plan for publicity and expanding reach, the organizer's track record of successful events, and the intended purpose of the requested funding. Applicants were informed that they could expect follow-up communication via email after submitting their applications.

[\\[7\\]](#cite-id-0ftafn2cqahf)​[\\[11\\]](#cite-id-3mfu6t3gcql)​\n\nWhile the majority of presenters were developers associated with [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum), the conference also welcomed participation from external companies and groups addressing issues directly related to the platform, such as Ethercamp (focused on creating an environment around [smart contracts](https://iq.wiki/wiki/smart-contract) and testing) and Ethcore (offering an alternative client to Ethereum's native client).
