The Zephyr Project community is heading to Lyon, France!
Join us on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, for an in-person Zephyr Project Meetup organized by Witekio. This community gathering will bring together developers, engineers, contributors, technology leaders, and embedded systems enthusiasts for an evening of technical talks, real-world use cases, networking, and discussions around the Zephyr RTOS.
The meetup will take place in Lyon, France, and is open to anyone interested in open source, embedded systems programming, software development, low-power connected devices, dependable systems, and the broader embedded ecosystem.
Lyon is a beautiful city to visit, located where the Rhône and Saône rivers meet. If you are coming for the meetup, you may also enjoy walking through Vieux Lyon, exploring the traboules, visiting Fourvière Hill for city views, or trying some of Lyon’s well-known local food.
Whether you are an experienced Zephyr developer, evaluating Zephyr for a future product, working with embedded Linux or RTOS technologies, or simply curious about open source embedded development, this meetup is a great opportunity to learn, connect, and exchange ideas with the community.
The meetup will include sessions in English and French, and we welcome individuals from all backgrounds.
