Zephyr Project

LF Energy Summit Europe 2026
2026-09-15 - 2026-09-16
Grid operators have to deliver affordable, reliable, safe, clean energy, and they need digital infrastructure to do it. Across the sector, utilities and vendors are increasingly turning to open source as the proven way to co-develop the shared, non-competitive building blocks required to modernize the grid faster, at lower cost, and without dependence on single-vendor roadmaps.
LF Energy Summit Europe convenes utilities, grid operators, technology vendors, energy companies, policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to showcase how open source is being used today to build production-grade digital infrastructure for energy systems. The event highlights recent project developments, emerging innovations, and practical lessons from organizations shipping real code, not just ideas.
Attendees will gain insight from leading experts and practitioners into best practices, tools, and technologies; learn how to participate in and scale open source communities; and connect directly with the peers and leaders who are developing the digital grid together.
If you are working with Zephyr RTOS in energy-related use cases, this is a great opportunity to join the conversation—submit a talk proposal and share your insights with the community.
Submit your talk proposals soon. CFP Closes on Monday 25 May at 11:59 PM CEST (UTC+2) / 2:59 PM PDT (UTC-7)

Zephyr in Science and Education 2026
2026-09-22
Navimatix and inovex is hosting Zephyr in Science and Education 2026 to bring together universities, research institutions, industry partners, and the wider Zephyr community. Building on its expertise in Zephyr RTOS training, workshops, and professional embedded systems development, Navimatix aims to strengthen collaboration between academia and industry, promote the integration of Zephyr into education and applied research, and support the next generation of developers in adopting Zephyr as a sustainable, future-oriented platform for embedded systems.
The aims of the planned conference include:

Increased use of Zephyr in academic education
Integration of Zephyr in research and science
Networking of ‘trainers’ to exchange methods and training approaches
Exchange on teaching content and methodological teaching approaches, particularly in the area of embedded system development

The conference will take place on 22 September 2026 in the Abbe Center of Photonics, which is the academic center of scientific activities in the fields of optics and photonics at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena.

Zephyr Project Meetup (October 12, 2026) – Munich, Germany
2026-10-12 17:30 - 22:30 UTC
Welcome to the Zephyr Project in-person meetup in Munich, Germany. This gathering is for anyone who’s curious about Open Source, Embedded Systems Programming, and Software Development.
This Zephyr Project meetup takes place the day before the European Microchip MASTERs 2026 Conference (Oct 12-15, Munich, Germany), giving attendees a great chance to join both events. The European Microchip MASTERs 2026 Conference also known as Microchip Annual Strategic Technical Exchange and Review (popularly known as MASTERs), is the premier annual in-person learning event designed to provide engineers with the latest technical training and insights. This event offers a unique opportunity to enhance your skills through comprehensive courses, hands on workshops and expert-led sessions. There will be Zephyr workshops and sessions at this MASTERs event as well.
You can find the location details in this map here.
There will be presentations based on products running Zephyr, subsystems and features you might not have heard of yet.
Expand your network and delve deep into the realm of dependable, low power embedded systems.
Whether you’re an experienced expert or just stepping into these fascinating areas, this meetup provides the perfect platform for everyone!Our primary language for group communication and events is English, and we warmly welcome individuals from all backgrounds.
Seats are limited, and we kindly request you to register soon to secure your spot.
