Thank you to all the wonderful individuals who joined Devconnect! 🦄
Our team is so happy about what this intense Ethereum week had to offer. We are incredibly proud of the many organizers, and grateful for all of you 🥹 💗
If you tend to book accommodations at the last minute, here's what to keep in mind:
We recommend staying within walking distance of the ICC or close to Metro lines M2 and F1 for ease of moving around the city (ICC is connected to Taksim and Osmanbey stations).

Some stickers are hidden.
Finders keepers.

🚨 Be aware of some shoe shiners who try to scam you close to the ICC venue!!
They are trying to get money from people with a trick: they drop their brush in the hope you pick it up to help them, and offer you a shoe shine in gratitude, but then want to charge you money for it.
**LAST DAY** of Devconnect!! 🎉
Come celebrate with us at 5pm *TODAY* for our Social Hour and closing @ the co-work: drinks, vibes, and a live flute mini-concert 🎶🥂
Then the co-work space will be open until 11pm 🧑💻

Just disconnected the event bracelets from
#devconnect
and got some closure.
A high standard was set for the next events this year, kudos to the organising teams!
Alright Alright: Devconnect is just 3 days away from officially starting.
This is a *very* decentralised week, and a lot of you have thoughts and questions, especially if you planned to attend at the last minute.
Here's a 🧶on how to make the most out of the week:
💡Devconnect ≠ Devcon
🦄
@EFDevcon
is a global Ethereum family reunion, a place to celebrate success. It will remain our principal event, and we're excited to bring Devcon 7 to Southeast Asia in 2024!
✨
@EFDevconnect
is a week to make progress, co-work, and collaborate.
gm Istanbul community! 🇹🇷
If there's one thing Devconnect attendees should remember when moving around in the city, what would that be?
From what I've learned so far it might be: Take public transport instead of the car because traffic can be really busy.
Exciting new features on ! ✨
You can now favorite events with a ⭐️
& create a snapshot link of your selected events to share with others!
& merge other people's favorites with yours!

Devconnect Coworking Space is coming to ICC - Istanbul's Conference Center!🧑💻
It will be a meeting point, a place to work, and a space to relax.
While events are independent, the coworking will be officially hosted by the Devconnect team.

1/ The goal of
@EFDevconnect
was to make room for important depth-first discussions, and for magic to happen for Ethereum in 2022.
I hope everyone feels the goal was met! The quality of conversations that happened for protocol R&D, staking, L2, MEV, ZK and more was incredible.
