Title

Build teams & businesses among DevCon participants in a simple & efficient way

How?
With Matchmaking with AI in Telegram & Presential Networking Dinamycs to connect & meet each other

Authors:

Gonzalo Figueroa ( LinkedIn Telegram @gonzaefigueroa)

Resources Required:

  • Invitation to Devcon attendees to write to our Telegram bot
  • Permission to integrate PowerHub.Network AI matchmaking bot
  • Minimal coordination with the Devcon organizing team for communication and onboarding
  • Social media / newsletter mention to encourage usage

What do you suggest?

I propose integrating PowerHub.Network’s AI-driven Business Matchmaking service into Devcon’s official Telegram channels. The service will connect attendees in real time based on their professional goals, industries, and collaboration opportunities—helping participants find relevant partners, clients, investors, or collaborators with just a few simple prompts.
We organize presential networking meeting with social dynamics to make this match really happen

:dart: Motivation & Rationale

Networking is often the biggest reason people attend Devcon, yet it can be overwhelming to find the right people in such a large crowd. PowerHub.Network solves this by:

  1. Raising the probability of meaningful connections – Instead of random meetings, participants get AI-powered introductions tailored to their goals.
  2. Improving attendee satisfaction – People leave Devcon with valuable contacts and potential deals, not just business cards.
  3. Strengthening the Ethereum ecosystem – More collaborations mean more projects, partnerships, and innovations growing out of Devcon.

This aligns with Devcon’s mission to foster connections and amplify impact across the community.

:hammer_and_wrench: Implementation

PowerHub.Network’s Telegram bot (already in production and used by global communities) will be embedded in Devcon’s official groups

How it works:

  1. Attendees message the bot in Telegram.
  2. They answer two quick questions:
  • What do you do? (their project / role / LinkedIn link)
  • What are you looking for? (partner, investor, mentor, cofounder, etc.)
  1. The bot instantly introduces them to other attendees with a strong relevance match.
  2. We propose attendes matches to meet in a location during DevConnect

This can be launched as a beta engagement feature during Devcon, either as part of the main Telegram group or as an opt-in networking channel.

:gear: Operational Requirements & Ownership

  • Devcon team provides access/permission to integrate the bot into official Telegram channels.
  • Devcon team promotes the service (through social media posts, newsletters, or during sessions).
  • Devcon provides a place to make the matched meetings possible.
  • PowerHub.Network provides the AI bot, technical setup, and live support during the event.
  • No financial cost for setup—PowerHub.Network offers this as a free beta for Devcon attendees.

  • PowerHub.Network has been tested in communities of 500+ professionals with strong engagement and measurable networking success.
  • The service runs fully on Telegram, so no extra app download is required.
  • This would position Devcon as an innovator not only in Ethereum tech but also in community-building and event networking.
