Ethereum’s Devconnect 2025 in Buenos Aires could become the Web3 event of the year, maybe even the decade.

It will take place November 17-22 in a hybrid, city-scale format: a central venue at La Rural featuring 10 stages and 40+ independently programmed events, plus the inaugural Ethereum World’s Fair -- eight districts where Web3 newcomers can set up a wallet, on-ramp into crypto, and even buy food with it.

Nathan Sexer, Event Lead at the Ethereum Foundation, breaks down the mission, the local impact on LATAM, and shares advice on how to get the most out of this Ethereum festival.

Key highlights:

🔸 The difference between Devcon and Devconnect

🔸 Why Argentina and LATAM?

🔸 The idea of Ethereum World’s Fair

🔸 How to become a host of the Ethereum event
