Meet Continuous Devcon

Continuous Devcon is the umbrella for initiatives that contribute towards making Devcon a more holistic experience, complementing the main programming.

CD allows for new formats and is a testbed for initiatives like Community Hubs, extended opening hours, the hacker basement and Devcon After Dark!

Continuous.... What?

Continuous Devcon brings together a variety of opportunities for the community to get hands-on involved and shape the event. Furthermore, parts of the amazing venue will be accessible into the evening hours, enabling participants to continue exchanging ideas even after the main program has concluded for the day, turning Devcon into a truly continuous and more holistic and collaboration-focused experience.

The venue and space is open, available, and welcoming until 11pm — much later than you might be used to from other Devcons. This means you can smoothly transition into the evening and have more time to explore the initiatives besides the main program!

The venue fosters collaboration, networking, exchange, creativity, creation, experimentation and relaxation through various spaces dedicated especially to that.

Make sure to check out the Community Hubs area and the Devcon after Dark program.

Community and Ecosystem Hubs at Devcon Bogotá!

Community Hubs are the dedicated space at the Devcon venue from the community for the community.

By enabling a handful of communities to create and display content of their choice we pave the way for a more decentralized Devcon.

This year, we invited communities, initiatives, interest groups and collectives to apply for their chance to get one of the available hub areas. The selected organizing groups are solely responsible for the space and what happens in it throughout the course of the whole conference.

Guidelines

All of the community hubs must follow certain guidelines, but above all they should be:

  • Marketing-free — no shilling!
  • Content first.
  • No bull 💩.
  • Tech-focused / community-focused.
  • Must offer a benefit for the audience.
  • Accessible to all Devcon attendees.
  • Dedicated to specific cause or topic.

Objective

Community Hubs are designed to complement the Devcon program by offering:

  • Office hours on their (expert) topics.
  • Discussion rounds.
  • Learning material on their topic.
  • A place for this group or interested parties to meet.
  • Interactive experiences depending on their topic.

Devcon After Dark

For the first time in Devcon history, we are keeping the venue open late. Instead of ushering all attendees out of the building at 5PM sharp, we are leaving the venue open until 11PM to provide a space for continued collaboration, live music, game nights, a Happy Hour each day from 6-8 PM & more!

Discuss and suggest community activities on the Forum.

Looking for a place where you can code and learn? We got you covered!

The hacker basement is your high-focus zone away from the busy conference ado.

It sets the right conditions for an individual to test new stuff on their laptop, to learn, or to hack on new ideas in a group.

Everything a hacker needs will be taken care of: cozy seating, electricity, internet and, of course, cyberpunk lighting and low-fi beats to get you in the right mood to build!

The hacker basement comes with a gaming area as well, which will be used for gaming sessions, meetups and more! Check out the Devcon after Dark program to not miss anything.
