🛠️ An open-source contributor
🎓 A student or part of a university developer community
🚀 A builder, founder or hackathon participant
🎨 A designer or product enthusiast

Why Road to Devcon Hyderabad?
Hyderabad has a massive developer and student ecosystem, but many talented builders are still outside the Ethereum community.
Road to Devcon is a bridge!
We want to bring together people from different open-source and developer communities, give them a way into the Ethereum ecosystem, and make Devcon feel more accessible to first-time attendees and contributors.
Think of it as a local gateway to Ethereum, where you can learn, meet builders, find projects to contribute to, discover hackathons and ecosystem opportunities, and maybe find your next thing to build.
The goal?
Not just “Attend a meetup!”
It’s to leave with:
New people → New ideas → New contributions → New builders in the ecosystem.
Whether you’re already shipping on Ethereum or just opening your first PR, there’s a place for you here.
