Oxidize 2026

by Ferrous Systems & KDAB

Oxidize is the conference for companies and developers using Rust professionally, held at Tagungswerk in Berlin across three days: one workshop day followed by two days of talks. The workshop day covers safety-critical development with Ferrocene, making Rust and C++ get along, integrating Rust into existing embedded C applications, and embedded Rust with batteries included. The talk programme is drawn from teams shipping Rust in production — Volvo Cars on its next-generation EV battery, Quantum Systems on unmanned systems, plus Vector, JetBrains and Woven by Toyota — alongside sessions on bare-metal ESP32, Embassy, shipping native libraries, vendor drivers and high-assurance projects. Panels cover the Rust job market and the practicalities of executing safety-critical work in Rust.

Xen Summit 2026

by Xen Project

Xen Summit is the annual gathering of the Xen Project community, and the 2026 edition runs for three days at the HEADS office in Aschheim, just east of Munich, hosted by Renesas. Two days of technical talks are followed by a third day given over entirely to design sessions, which are working sessions where contributors settle architecture, implementation plans and project direction face to face rather than sit through presentations. The published programme leans heavily on embedded and automotive virtualization, with talks on Xen on Renesas R-Car Gen5 silicon, mixed-criticality workloads, thermal management and the path toward safety certification, alongside a cloud and infrastructure track covering XCP-ng, XenServer nested virtualization and per-guest resource management. Other sessions cover Xen on RISC-V, Arm VHE-always hardware, formal methods, secure inter-domain communication over Argo, and compliance work against DO-178C and IEC 62443. The audience is Xen developers and maintainers, embedded and automotive engineers, cloud and infrastructure practitioners, researchers and students. The summit is hybrid, with standard in-person registration at $200 and a $20 rate for academics and for virtual attendance, plus a community social dinner on the evening of 16 September.
