About
ETHDubai is the conference for passionate devs and contributors on anything related to Ethereum, DeFi, EVM and more with a focus on decentralization and community projects such as Yearn and its ecosystem. Expect great speakers, talks, workshops for both experts and beginners and tons of great social events you will not forget. Dubai is one of the easiest place on Earth to get to without a visa wherever you are from, with beautiful pristine sand beaches, great weather, affordable accommodation and endless entertainment for all. Last but not least, if you are a frontend developer that wants to learn web3 but do not know where to start, we will have workshops with experts so that you can get started writing your first dapp with Solidity, Typescript and basic React knowledge. We will also provide more advanced workshops for people already familiar with web3 technologies. We will post more details soon so make sure to subscribe to our mailing list for more details.
