Zephyr Project at FOSDEM 2026
2026-01-31 - 2026-02-01
The Zephyr Project will be participating at FOSDEM 2026 in Brussels! FOSDEM is a free, open, and community-powered event where thousands of developers from around the world gather to share ideas and collaborate-no registration required. This year, Zephyr will be sharing a stand with the Dronecode Foundation, showcasing products running Zephyr, live demos, and opportunities to meet project developers and maintainers. Expect insights on the CRA, security best practices, and more.

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.

Embedded World Exhibition & Conference: Nuremberg, Germany 2026
2026-03-10 - 2026-03-12
Established in Nuremberg back in March 2003, the embedded world Exhibition & Conference is now going into its 24th edition in 2026. The original concept of a unique combination of an exhibition for engineers and technical management on one hand and a world-leading conference at the intersection of applied research and industrial applications on the other hand has proven extremely successful.
embedded world Exhibition & Conference is driven by technology as well as applications with a strong focus on system and cross domain aspects. And it is driven by the embedded community – and its annual meeting.
We look forward to another thrilling execution for the embedded world Conference 2026 in Nuremberg.
The Zephyr Project will be present at the embedded world Exhibition 2026 with a dedicated booth(Hall 4, Stand 4-170). Ecosystem members Antmicro, Nordic Semiconductor, Silicon Labs, NXP Semiconductors, Renesas Electronics, Ac6, inovex GmbH, Doulos, Beningo Embedded Group, Alif Semiconductor, STMicroelectronics, Blecon, Microchip Technology and Percepio will showcase live demos in the booth. Visitors can expect product demos running on Zephyr, hands-on discussions, and a celebration of the Zephyr Project’s 10-year anniversary.
Throughout the exhibition days, the Zephyr Project will host special anniversary activities, including a scavenger hunt as part of the 10-year celebration. There will be special-edition Zephyr anniversary hoodies, kites, and hardware giveaways sponsored by Infineon, NXP Semiconductors, Nordic Semiconductor, Renesas Electronics, and Silicon Labs.
