The Ethereum Foundation will hold Devcon 8 from November 3 to November 6, 2026, at the Jio World Center in Mumbai’s Bandra Kurla Complex, bringing its marquee developer conference to India for the first time. Organizers expect 10,000 to 12,000 attendees and more than 600 sessions across stages, workshops and community hubs; 14 Community Hubs had been confirmed by early September 2026. The annual gathering will bring together builders, researchers and enthusiasts to share insights, develop projects and strengthen collaboration across the Ethereum ecosystem. ETHIndia will run alongside the main event on November 4, during the Diwali season. India’s more than 17 million GitHub developers and growing pipeline of Ethereum talent have helped drive the selection, alongside years of work by ETHMumbai, Devfolio and Polygon. General Admission tickets range from $499 when paid in ETH to $999 in fiat, while Indian residents can buy tickets for as little as $149 after Aadhaar verification using zero-knowledge proof technology (privacy-preserving cryptographic verification). Students and ecosystem contributors can pay between $25 and $99. The foundation announced Mumbai as host city on December 23, 2025, continuing Devcon’s rotation through global cities including Bogota and Bangkok.
