ETHEREUM JUST ANNOUNCED DEVCON 9 —. Lisbon will host the next Global Developers Conference.
The flagship website developers conference returns to Europe.
And the next target has been officially revealed.
DEVCON 9 will be held in Lisbon, Portugal.
The Ethereum Foundation announced the location during the closing day of DEVCON 8 in Mumbai.
The next edition is scheduled for October 11-13, 2027, at the LISBON CONGRESS CENTER.
This makes Portugal the next meeting point for thousands of developers, researchers, cryptographers and builders working across the Ethereum ecosystem.
But Devcon is much more than a traditional tech conference.
This is one of the most important places where the long term direction of websites is discussed.
Previous releases brought together contributors working on major protocol upgrades, layer 2 scaling, zero-knowledge proofs, staking infrastructure, privacy, and distributed applications.
Devcon 8 in Mumbai demonstrated how broad the ecosystem has become.
Discussions included faster Ethereum finality, quantum-resistant cryptography, institutional tokenization, wallet privacy, and the growing relationship between blockchain infrastructure and artificial intelligence.
Now these talks will continue in Lisbon.
The selection also highlights the website's international developer community.
Devcon has previously been held in Berlin, London, Shanghai, Cancun, Prague, Osaka, Bogota, Bangkok and Mumbai.
Lisbon will become the next city in that history.
And the timing can be particularly interesting.
The website roadmap includes ambitious work on performance improvements, zero-knowledge authentication and post-quantum security over the next few years.
By October 2027, developers will have more significant progress to demonstrate.
IMPORTANT: DEVCON 9S location and dates have been confirmed.
However, the full speaker line-up, session schedule and ticket details have yet to be announced.
