Mumbai is getting closer.

Devcon 8 takes place November 3–6 at the Jio World Center, bringing together people from across Ethereum, open source, and the wider world of decentralized tech.

And if Devcon is on your calendar this year, now is a good time to make your plans.

Our Mumbai Travel Guide is now live, General Admission tickets are currently 11% off, speaker applications close on August 12, and we’ve extended the Community Hub application deadline to August 26.

Here’s what you need to know.

The Devcon 8 Mumbai Travel Guide is now live.

If this will be your first time in Mumbai, consider it your starting point for planning the week. The guide covers where to stay, how to get around, what to eat, what to know before you arrive, and plenty more to help you make the most of your time in the city.

Devcon may be the reason we are all coming together, but Mumbai is a huge part of the experience.

Have something you believe the Ethereum community should be talking about?

This year’s program will reach thousands of builders, researchers, designers, and thinkers across tracks spanning Ethereum protocol development, applied cryptography, privacy, security, open source, governance, permissionless networks, and more.

You can apply with a:

• Lightning Talk: 5 minutes plus Q&A

• Talk: 20 minutes plus Q&A

• Mixed Format: AMA, fireside chat, or roundtable

• Workshop: 60-minute hands-on session

Speaker applications are open to everyone. Selected speakers receive a complimentary Devcon 8 ticket.

Applications close August 12. Apply to speak at Devcon.

You've got more time to bring your community to Devcon! We’ve extended the Community Hub application deadline to August 26, giving communities two more weeks to develop and submit their proposals.

Community Hubs give groups working across Ethereum, open source, privacy, public-interest technology, and adjacent communities a dedicated place within Devcon to bring people together around a shared topic.

Selected communities will design their own programming, from workshops and onboarding sessions to roundtables, live discussions, games, and experimental formats. If there’s a community, conversation, or idea you want represented in Mumbai, we’d love to see what you create.

Read the Community Hub guidelines and submit your proposal by August 26.
