Master Rust for Embedded Systems: Join Elektor Academy Pro's Online Conference
On Wednesday, 16 July 2025, Elektor Academy Pro will host a full-day online conference dedicated to one of today’s most promising technologies in embedded systems: Rust. This in-depth 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 legacy 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, robust, 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 Conference
The Rust on Embedded conference delivers a compact yet comprehensive learning experience, combining six practical, 45-minute presentations with live Q&A opportunities and access to session recordings.Attendees will:
- Gain a solid introduction to the Rust language and embedded ecosystem
- Learn from engineers who have implemented Rust in commercial and industrial environments
- Explore best practices for integrating Rust with existing systems
- Assess where and how Rust can fit into your own projects, whether prototyping or scaling production
Whether you're evaluating Rust for your next-generation device, or already experimenting with it in-house, this event will accelerate your adoption journey with actionable insights.
Preliminary Conference Program
Here’s what the day will cover:-
Rust Embedded Ecosystem: An Overview
Understand the state of the Rust tooling landscape for embedded development, including frameworks, libraries, and board support. -
Prototyping and Product Development with Rust on ESP32
See how Rust is used on real, low-cost hardware to take ideas from proof-of-concept to deployable devices. -
Safe and Secure Rust: Effective Approaches to Error Prevention
Explore how Rust’s ownership model and compile-time checks help prevent entire classes of bugs and runtime failures. -
Safe and Open: Rust and RISC-V for Embedded Developers
Learn how Rust and open hardware like RISC-V create opportunities for transparent, reliable product design. -
Kiteshield: Safe Ore mining with Rust and Ferrocene
A real-world application story demonstrating Rust’s versatility in large-scale industrial tracking and telemetry.
Interactive Format & 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, so you won’t miss a thing.Tickets & Registration
