In two weeks, we'll open the doors to the first-ever Ethereum World’s Fair at La Rural in Buenos Aires.

This year isn’t about someday. It’s about now. On Ethereum today, you can pay, play, vote, save, borrow, lend, and chat. At Devconnect, you’ll experience that shift hands-on, IRL.
Buenos Aires is the right backdrop for this moment: a city where crypto is part of daily life and where you can fully immerse, and use crypto even outside the venue.

Below is your guide to what’s inside the main venue, how to plan your week, and what to do before you arrive.

La Rural is our home base: 35,000 m², and everything under one roof, so you can spend your week immersed in Ethereum.

• 40+ events and workshops on ZK, AI, app building, and more

• Discussion Corners and Community Hubs for deep dives and connections

• From essentials to extravaganza: coworking and meeting rooms, on-ramping stations, food trucks (pay with crypto), live music, cinema, and a soccer pitch

At the center of Devconnect is the Ethereum World’s Fair: 75+ teams showcasing live applications across themed districts.
Think of it as a map of the frontier: DeFi, Social, Privacy, Hardware & Wallets, Gaming, AI, L2s, and Collectibles, each a place where you can see, touch, and try what’s possible on Ethereum. Meet the builders, try the apps, explore quests, and see what’s ready today.

They make Devconnect possible and, at the World’s Fair, many of them are literally powering the experience by showcasing their apps.
