Rust on Embedded Online Conference: Build Safe Embedded Systems with Rust

Discover on 16 May 2025 how Rust can make embedded systems safer, faster, and more reliable – with expert-led practical presentations.

On Wednesday, 16 July 2025, Elektor Academy Pro will host a full-day online conference dedicated to the programming language Rust and its use in embedded systems. The in-depth Rust on Embedded event will equip attendees with practical insights and advanced knowledge they can immediately apply to their projects and bring back to their teams and employers.

Why Rust Now?

Rust has rapidly evolved into a serious alternative to traditional languages like C and C++, especially in the realm of embedded systems. Its modern syntax, powerful memory safety model, and growing ecosystem make it attractive for developers seeking to build more secure, safe, and maintainable firmware and hardware integrations. What once required trade-offs in performance or interoperability can now be tackled efficiently thanks to Rust’s strong support for cross-compilation, embedded targets, and integration with other languages. For professionals building real-world embedded products — especially in sectors where reliability and security are non-negotiable — Rust offers a future-proof approach. The community around Embedded Rust has matured significantly, and industry leaders are already integrating it into their toolchains.

What to Expect from the Online Event

The Rust on Embedded conference delivers a compact yet comprehensive learning experience, combining minimum six practical, 45-minute presentations with live Q&A opportunities and access to session recordings.

Here’s what the day will cover so far:

• Rust Embedded Ecosystem: An Overview
• Prototyping and Product Development with Rust on ESP32
• Safe and Secure Rust: Effective Approaches to Error Prevention
• Rust and RISC-V for Embedded Developers
• Safe Ore Mining with Rust and Ferrocene – a real-world application story

Interactive Format and Access

After each presentation, participants can join a live Q&A session with the speaker and connect with fellow engineers in moderated video breakout rooms. All talks will be recorded and available on-demand, along with supplementary materials.

The currently valid Early Bird ticket costs 229 euros, from June 19 the regular ticket will cost 289 euros. Gold or Green members of Elektor, to which eeNews Europe belongs, will receive an additional discount so that they only have to pay 149 euros for the ticket.
