There are 78 Devcon 8 side events listed in Mumbai for Devcon week, from 1 to 8 November 2026, on the community calendar that devcon.org links to. The busiest day is Wednesday 4 November, with 20 events starting, and 32 of the 78 have at least 1 host with a NAUT page.
How this list was built: on 22 October 2026, NAUT read every event on luma.com/Devcon8, the largest of the 6 community calendars on devcon.org's Road to Devcon page. We kept events in Mumbai that start or run between 1 and 9 November; the last one starts on 8 November. We also kept 4 listings that give no city, because they sit on the Devcon 8 calendar that week. We counted each event once, even when it runs for several days. We left out ETHIndia, which runs inside the Devcon venue, plus a room-booking listing, a meeting-booking page and 2 listings we could not place as Mumbai side events (ShanHaiWoo GBA 2026, and Bittensor Builders House in Chondhi). Side events are added every day, so expect the count to grow.
When are the Devcon 8 side events?
According to devcon.org, Devcon 8 itself runs from 3 to 6 November at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai, organised by the Ethereum Foundation. The side events start 2 days earlier:
- 1 and 2 November, before Devcon opens: 22 events, led by the India Blockchain Week conference that Hashed Emergent hosts, Solana Summit India and Arbitrum's ArbiVerse.
- 3 to 6 November, during Devcon: 53 events. 39 of them start on 3 and 4 November alone.
- 7 and 8 November, after Devcon: 3 events.
28 of the 78 run across more than 1 date. 12 of them run 3 days or more, mostly hubs and residencies such as the Security Hub that TheDAO Security Fund runs from 3 to 6 November. The other 16 run across 2 dates, including evening parties that go past midnight.
