About Bitcoin DevCon
Bitcoin Devcon is the premier forum for Bitcoin innovation, designed for developers, visionaries and creators poised to build the future of Bitcoin. It's not just a meetup; it's a crucible of inspiration, where a community of passionate builders, engineers converge to bring their groundbreaking ideas and innovations to life in a hackathon Day.
At Bitcoin DevCon, we offer more than just dialogue and presentations. We provide a tangible platform for contributors across various disciplines—builders, engineers, designers, researchers, and artists—to catalyze their ideas into tangible innovations. This event embodies the spirit of collaboration, empowering attendees to not only engage with the Bitcoin movement but to drive it forward with significant momentum.
Demo day is dedicated exclusively to startup demos and pitches, showcasing the best of what’s being built in the Bitcoin ecosystem. This platform and stage are designed to harness the collective power of innovation and help builders get the support they need, whether in the form of teammates, capital, or partnerships.
Attendees and judges representing top Venture Capital firms ensure promising projects find the support they need to transition from vision to reality. Whether you're navigating the Bitcoin space for the first time or you're an established expert, Bitcoin DevCon promises an immersive exploration of cutting-edge technologies, acting as a global nexus for the Bitcoin community and a catalyst for innovation and creativity.
