Zephyr Online Conference by Elektor - Nov 5, 2025
2025-11-05
The open source real-time embedded operating system Zephyr is becoming increasingly popular, and not just because of its broad hardware support. It is particularly suitable for applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) and in embedded systems due to its very low memory requirements and offers a complete embedded development platform. As the learning curve is quite steep, this Zephyr online conference offers a compact package that helps developers take their first steps or build on their existing experience.
The conference brings together leading Zephry experts to discuss the latest trends, best practices and innovative Zephyr solutions for embedded and IoT systems. Experience exciting presentations that will help you understand why now is the right time to look into the Zephyr ecosystem so that your applications are state of the art. Whether you are an expert or a newcomer, the conference offers valuable insights and helps you getting answers to your questions.
With the Zephyr conference, you will

learn about the key features of Zephyr that make it a modern and promising RTOS.
get to know the architectural perspective: From Functional Design to Efficient Implementation
experience how Zephyr can be a secure choice for embedded development
learn to use machine learning for microcontrollers with Zephyr and emlearn
see how a Zephyr application can be written in Rust
assess where and how Zephyr can fit into your own projects, whether you are prototyping or scaling production

Whether you’re evaluating Zephyr for your next-generation software and device, experimenting with it in-house or having made first practical steps, this event will deepen your und understanding and help guide your next steps.

BoF/Unconference
Zephyr RTOS Community BoF (Jan 31, 2026 – 16:00 – 16:55)
Join the Zephyr RTOS community for an informal BoF session where maintainers, contributiors, and and anyone interested in hearing more about Zephyr will be discussing:
Roadmap — As Zephyr turns 10 this year, where should the community be focusing for the next 10 years?
Feedback from product makers — If you are building actual products with Zephyr (yes, even as a hobby!) come and share your experience, both positive and… less positive.
General Project Health — BoFs are always a good “reality check” and participants are encouraged to bring their feedback with regards to things we could be doing better in our community. Learn more.
