Devcon 8 Mumbai

The numbers

Every figure links to where it came from. Attendance for an event that has not happened is a projection, and each row says so rather than presenting it as a count.

What it is

Devcon is the Ethereum Foundation's conference for developers, researchers and the people who build on the protocol. The eighth edition is in Mumbai, 3 to 6 November 2026, at Jio World Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex. The Foundation's own blog described this edition as more focused and intimate than the largest recent Devcons. That is a change of shape, not just a change of city.

Who goes

Builders. If you came to raise from generalist funds or to walk a sales floor, this is the wrong week. Researchers, client teams, application developers and the academic track sit at the centre. Road to Devcon university programmes in India are part of how the Foundation is filling the room. Tickets were on sale on the official site when last checked.

Side events

Search Devcon 8 side event or Devcon Mumbai side event and you will find the usual Ethereum pattern: independent summits, client-team meetups and night events in BKC and around Bandra, posted on Luma and on team calendars rather than on devcon.org. The Foundation does not run a TOKEN2049-style thousand-event sheet. Volunteer training is listed for 1 November and on-site work from 2 November, which is useful only if you are staffing. For attendees, the side week is whoever is already in Mumbai for Devcon. Confirm each night on the host's own page. Aspire does not run those nights.

Tickets and costs

General admission was listed at 499 dollars on devcon.org. The venue is Jio World Centre, G Block, BKC. Stay in Bandra or BKC. Crossing the city at peak is the expensive mistake. November in Mumbai is after monsoon, still humid. The official map pin is on the Devcon site. Do not use a reseller.

Worth knowing before you book

Devcon is not ETHDenver and it is not TOKEN2049. The Foundation has said this edition is smaller on purpose. If you need a huge side-event circuit, you will have to build it yourself from team calendars. If you need the protocol room, this is the week.
