Community Ethereum Development Conference
3-7, April, 2020 / Vienna University of Economics and Business
WHAT IS EDCON?

EDCON (Community Ethereum Development Conference ) is a non-profit global Ethereum conference that happens once a year in different countries, and it is mainly committed to serving the Ethereum ecosystem, boosting the communication and interaction of Ethereum communities worldwide. EDCON is a community-supported event initiated by LinkTime, and with the spirit of sharing and mutual growth, it received strong support from Ethereum Foundation, various communities, and many other contributors in this space, as is manifest in EDCON2017-Paris, EDCON2018-Toronto, and EDCON2019-Sydney. Together with the help of our supporters, EDCON has made a large influence in its previous years, and we hope this year's event will be even more significant.

Realizing that there is an increasing number of people beginning to study and research cryptoeconomics deeper than ever before, we can see the significance and necessity of cryptoeconomics to the blockchain space. Thus this time, apart from the topics of Ethereum technology updates, business use case, investment, governance, community building, etc., the "Renaissance of Crypto-economics" will be included as an important slogan. You will hear more voices about Crypto-economics at EDCON2020.

We sincerely welcome anyone from this ecosystem to join us. If you have any great ideas and want to organize a themed sub-conference, welcome to apply to be one of the sub-conference organizers! We look forward to your participation!

WU - Vienna University of Economics and Business 

WU, Welthandelspl. 1, 1020 Vienna, Austria

 

The Vienna University of Economics and Business (German: Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien or WU), founded on October 1, 1898, is a Triple accredited (AACSB, EQUIS, and AMBA) and the largest university focusing on business and economics in Europe and, in terms of student body, one of the largest universities in Austria. It has been ranked as one of the best business schools in Europe.

 

University of Economics and Business was ranked as one of the best business schools in the German-speaking countries according to Handelsblatt and in 2011 it was ranked 21st in the list of the 392 worldwide leading higher education institutions by the Mines ParisTech: Professional Ranking World Universities. The university's master in international management program was ranked 8th in the "Masters in Management Ranking 2016" by Financial Times.

 

Campus WU is close to the Prater public park, and next to the exhibition center of Vienna. The buildings of the campus are designed by architectural firms from Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, and Austria. The dominant element of the campus is the Library & Learning Center (also the main locations for EDCON2020), which was planned by Zaha Hadid. The conference would not be successful without the support of WU.

 

We would like to give our sincere thanks to this great University and we look forward to seeing EDCON attendees in this beautiful place.
