Rust NYC: The UnConf 2026.

PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST ALSO SIGN UP HERE ON LUMA IN ORDER TO GENERATE A QR CODE TICKET, SIGNUPS THAT DO NOT DO THIS WILL NOT HAVE A TICKET. After the success of our 2025 event, we've grown almost 2000 members in 2026! So, we're doing the UnConf again. There's space for 300 of you. 20 different interactive tracks across all things Rust across an entire afternoon. A purely interactive mix of discussions, workshops, talks, demos, classes and more across all the things that you in our community have specifically requested. We'll be covering everything from embedded Rust, to async, distributed systems, AI, GPUs, databases, and so much more! We anticipate this will be the biggest free Rust event ever held in person, and have no intentions of slowing down. We've gone all out this year, and hired a dedicated space at the Jay Conference Center in Chelsea for an afternoon, with 20 of the best and brightest coming together from the Rust ecosystem to present a learning opportunity quite like no other, completely for free. If you need something to explain to your employer why this is worth your time without using PTO, we've prepped this template for you: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-UgmwFDrpk9EC2VKSVpZfannfSkAaUHJBYpkuHIL8/edit?usp=sharing Over the coming week, we'll be announcing the talk track titles, alongside further speakers. This event would not be possible without the community coming together to donate to the ever rising costs, and we wanted to take the opportunity to thank all of our sponsors for helping this come together: JetBrains have kindly funded the conference venue, and all of the other costs are being covered by Eden, Antithesis, Iroh, Empathic, Helius and Lawrence Harvey. With this being an afternoon event, a link to provide your employer outlining why this event is educational and worth you attending will be published here soon. We'll also have a fantastic happy hour afterwards! The track list is being released in blocks of 5 over the next co
