TLDR;
This RFP invites the community to participate in designing and executing the upcoming Ethereum SEA Day, the event dedicated to advancing the Ethereum ecosystem in SEA (Southeast Asia).
Objectives
Ethereum SEA Day is a 1-day event on the day before Devcon, right at the venue where Devcon will happen afterwards. The event is dedicated to objectives that are specific to advancing the Ethereum ecosystem in SEA:
- To onboard newcomers in SEA onto Ethereum to learn more about Ethereum, its values, its technology and its possibilities, directly serving those with limited prior exposure to the Ethereum ecosystem who desire to learn more.
- To facilitate SEA community leaders to share their insights and align on the future of Ethereum in Southeast Asia.
- To spotlight SEA initiatives, connecting regional leaders and participants, fostering local networking opportunities, enabling meaningful collaborations and partnerships within the SEA Ethereum ecosystem and beyond.
Target Audience
These are the audiences we expect to meet at Ethereum SEA Day:
- General public hearing about Ethereum the first time and curious to know what Ethereum is all about
- Web2 developers looking to get into web3
- University and high-school students looking to learn how to build on web3
- Artists looking to learn and contribute to the on-chain culture
- Academics looking for ways to conduct interesting research on Ethereum and web3
- Public sector & social sector professionals seeking to understand and potentially adopt blockchain and Ethereum into their work
Date
The entire day of November 11th, 2024
Venue & expected capacity
Devcon team will be providing parts of Devcon’s venue itself at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC), Bangkok for this event.
We will be able to accommodate approximately 1,000 attendees with the possibility to adapt to larger demand. The event can have many activities throughout the day. Smaller workshop rooms, foyer areas, etc. are available to accommodate different types of activities within the Ethereum SEA Day.
