Audience

EuroRust is a general-purpose Rust conference. We attract a heterogenous crowd:

• Professionals using Rust in their daily job
• Maintainers and contributors to Rust’s open-source ecosystem
• Developers who are curious about Rust, or just getting started

Tracks

The conference will have two tracks:

• General-purpose, hosted on the main stage
• Deep-dive, hosted on a smaller side stage

Talks for the general-purpose track should be appealing and comprehensible to most attendees.
Talks for the deep-dive track can instead target a smaller audience—e.g. they might require a higher level of Rust proficiency or background in a specific area (e.g. embedded or Linux internals).
You must submit your proposals to a specific track. We will contact you if we believe your submission is better suited for the other track.

Topics

We’re open to a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Rust patterns, anti-patterns and idioms
• Domain-specific talks (backend, WASM, embedded, system programming, etc.)
• Deep dives into specific Rust libraries or projects
• Case studies from the industry
• A review of the state-of-the-art in a specific area

Selection process

There will be a two-stage review process: the first stage is anonymous, the second isn’t.

During the first stage, we’ll judge your proposal based on the information in your abstract and talk outline.
Make sure to clarify:

• The target audience: what level of Rust proficiency do you expect? Do they need a background in a specific domain to follow along?
• The topics you’ll touch on.
• The key takeaways: what will an attendee learn that they didn’t know before?

During the second stage, we will take into account your identity:

• We will accept at most 1 talk from the same speaker
• We will try to balance the number of experienced and first-time speakers. We want to see new faces on the stage!
• If you’re an experienced speaker, we may review your previous talks

Miscellaneous

Speakers will get a free ticket to attend both conference days.
Talks must be in English.
All talks will be recorded and live-streamed. Recordings will be published on EuroRust’s YouTube channel after the conference.
