The **Scrypto Developer Event** was the first Radix event given over wholly to Scrypto developers, and the first held in Europe, [announced on 16 March 2022](https://www.radixdlt.com/blog/scrypto-developer-event-lisbon) and held by RDX Works at Sud Hall in Lisbon, Portugal, on 9 April 2022. It was not the first in-person Scrypto workshop: that was the [Alexandria Preview Event](/contents/history/alexandria-preview-event) in New York five months earlier, where Scrypto was first shown hands-on and its first release published the same afternoon. It introduced developers to [Scrypto](/contents/tech/core-protocols/scrypto-programming-language) and Radix’s [asset-oriented](/contents/tech/core-concepts/asset-oriented-programming) approach to building smart contracts.

## Format

The programme below is the one published in advance, the announcement being the only detailed record of the day this wiki can cite. It ran from registration and breakfast at 09.00 through an opening “Why DeFi is the Future” talk, two hands-on workshop sessions either side of lunch, a 16.00 closing talk billed as “Inspire Devs to keep building”, and an open Q&A from 17.00 to 18.00. The workshops were run by the RDX Works Builders Team, taking attendees through the basics of Scrypto and on to writing simple [blueprints](/contents/tech/core-concepts/blueprints-and-packages) and [components](/contents/tech/core-concepts/components) in the afternoon. Each participant took home a Scrypto developer box, prizes were awarded for completing workshop tasks, and – for those who could not attend in person – the event was live-streamed and [recorded](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo5LQW5hATQ), with questions for the closing Q&A submitted by smartphone from home. The day closed with a social gathering at the venue, hosted by the Radix community in Lisbon and RSVP'd separately from the workshops themselves.

## Significance

Attendees worked with [Scrypto v0.3.0](https://github.com/radixdlt/radixdlt-scrypto/releases/tag/v0.3.0), released on 16 February 2022 and current on the day; [v0.4.0](https://github.com/radixdlt/radixdlt-scrypto/releases/tag/v0.4.0) followed eighteen days after the event, on 27 April. That was still more than a year before Scrypto reached production with the [Babylon mainnet](/contents/tech/releases/radix-mainnet-babylon), but it was released software rather than the preview build handed out in New York. The Lisbon event carried forward a template the [Alexandria Preview Event](/contents/history/alexandria-preview-event) had set, and it runs on through the [Austin Developer Event](/contents/history/austin-developer-event), the university [DApp In a Day](/contents/history/dapp-in-a-day-workshop-1) workshop series, and remote hackathons such as the [Scrypto DeFi Challenge](/contents/history/scrypto-defi-challenge).
