Cardano will host two developer events in late May and mid-June
according to this Tim Harrison, Vice President of Community and Ecosystem at IOHK, Cardano will host two developer events in late May and mid-June. The two developer events are expected to take place in Barcelona, Spain and Austin, Texas, respectively.
we are hosting two #cardano Developer events between late May and mid-June in Barcelona (focus on audits and certification) and Austin, TeX (focus on Plutus plus some Marlows). if you are #buildingoncardano and want to join @benohanlon is your man

The end of May will focus on auditing and certification, while the Austin event in mid-June will focus on Plutus, a Cardano-based smart contract platform, and Marlo, a language designed to develop and execute financial contracts on Cardano.
Cardano and its smart contract platform, Plutus, are set to make significant gains in the June hard fork. The Cardano Vasil hard fork event is scheduled for June 29.
shared by IOHK, Some Cardano Improvement Proposals (CIPs) are coming along with the hard fork of June. The upcoming Vassil update is set to introduce four different CIPs, which are CIP-31 (context input), CIP-32 (inline data), CIP-33 (context script) and CIP-40 (collateral output).
Coming CIPs with June’s HF:

IOHK further explained. Context inputs allow multiple dApps to be able to read from the same data at the same time, thereby improving concurrency. As Cardano currently does, inline data allows data to be stored on-chain instead of just a hash. This makes it easier for developers to interact with scripts as they do not need to include data.
Reference scripts are intended to help reduce transaction costs. Currently, new scripts need to be included in each transaction. With reference scripts, scripts can be interacted with, via a context, by pushing it onto the chain. Thus interaction with a smart contract becomes minimal.
Collateralized Output aims to improve the transaction verification experience. Currently, the collateral set aside for such scenarios is lost if a transaction fails verification. With collateralized output, only enough collateral is involved to complete the transaction.
The Cardano network has reached several milestones in recent months. According to the latest update, 925 projects are being built on Cardano. Cardano’s native tokens have also reached 4.5 million, while the number of wallets holding ADA tokens recently surpassed 3.6 million.
