In two weeks we will open the door to First ever Ethereum World Fair At La Rural in Buenos Aires.
This year is not just sometime. It’s about now. With Ethereum today, you can pay, play, vote, save, borrow, lend, and chat all on-chain. And with Devconnect, you can experience that change first-hand.
Buenos Aires is a fitting backdrop for this moment. A city where cryptocurrencies are part of everyday life and where builders are ready to show what’s really going on.
Below is a guide to what’s on display, how to plan your week, and what to do before you arrive.
Inside La Rural: A city within a city
La Rural is our home. 35,000 square meters under one roofset it up so that you can spend a week soaking in Ethereum.
- Over 40 events and workshops About ZK, AI, app construction, etc.
- Discussion corner and community hub To dig deep and connect
- From essentials to luxuries: Coworking and conference rooms, ramping stations, food trucks (pay with cryptocurrencies), live music, movie theater, soccer field

Ethereum World Fair: Ethereum in action
At the heart of Devconnect is the Ethereum World Fair. 75+ teams We will be showcasing live applications across the theme districts.
Think of it as a map of the frontiers of DeFi, social, privacy, hardware and wallets, gaming, AI, L2, collectibles, and more. Each is a place where you can see, touch, and try what’s possible with Ethereum.
- Hands-on experience. Meet the builders, try out the app, explore quests, and see what’s currently in store.
