Devcon Improvement Proposals (DIPs)

Suggest what we should include, change, or subtract and help improve Devcon. Inspiration: DIPs are roughly inspired by the more decentralized PEP, BIP and EIP processes.
Goals: We aim to use open and value-driven Ethereum tech where it makes sense and benefits all attendees. We want to encourage collaboration between different projects.

Music & Art Space

Enjoy live music, visuals, and workshops in an immersive art space. Participate in jam sessions, sound healing, or simply enjoy the atmosphere. The Music space is an initiative by the Open-Source Orchestra who wrote this DIP.
