Embedded Linux Conference - Europe 2026

Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2026 — Conference

Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2026 is a leading technical conference dedicated to the development and deployment of Linux-based systems for embedded and edge devices. The event brings together kernel developers, embedded engineers, system architects, hardware vendors, and open-source contributors to share deep technical knowledge and practical experience around building reliable, secure, and performant Linux systems on embedded hardware. 

Organized by the Linux Foundation, Embedded Linux Conference has established itself as one of the most important global gatherings for professionals working close to the hardware layer. The conference focuses on the full embedded Linux software stack, including the Linux kernel, device drivers, bootloaders, real-time systems, power management, security, and long-term maintenance. Topics often cover ARM and RISC-V architectures, system optimization, OTA updates, and the challenges of deploying Linux at scale on constrained or specialized devices. 

ELC Europe is co-located with the Open Source Summit Europe, allowing attendees to move freely between deeply technical embedded Linux sessions and broader open-source ecosystem, security, and governance tracks. This combination encourages cross-disciplinary collaboration between low-level engineers and the wider open-source community.
