RustConf 2026 Call for Proposals Open Until February 16
RustConf 2026 is accepting talk proposals until February 16 for the conference taking place September 8-11 in Montréal, Canada, with travel stipends available for accepted speakers.
The Call for Talk Proposals for RustConf 2026 is officially open, inviting submissions from the Rust community for the conference scheduled for September 8-11, 2026, in Montréal, Canada. Virtual attendance is available, but the organizers encourage in-person participation when possible.
What They're Looking For
Topics of interest include building delightful development tools, experimenting with Rust in unexpected environments, exploring systems design, and sharing lessons from collaboration and community building. The Rust Foundation emphasizes that speakers don't need to be full-time Rust experts or seasoned presenters—experimenters, hobbyists, and community storytellers are encouraged to apply alongside veteran contributors.
Speaker Support
Conference session speakers will receive support including travel stipends for in-person presenters and guidance for remote presentations. Speakers can present on stage in Montréal or virtually with a pre-recorded talk, though the organizers prefer live in-person presentations when possible. This support removes financial barriers that might otherwise prevent community members from sharing their experiences.
Submission Details
The submission period runs from December 16, 2025, through February 16, 2026. Proposals can be submitted through the Sessionize platform. With Rust holding the "Most Admired Language" title for the ninth consecutive year in the Stack Overflow Developer Survey, the conference continues to attract growing interest from developers across systems programming, web development, and embedded systems domains.
