Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2025 Technical Showcase
Tuesday, 26 August
Time: 17:00 – 18:30
Location: Solutions Showcase, Hall 3 (Ground Floor)
We’re excited to host the Embedded Linux Technical Showcase at ELC Europe 2025! This unique event brings the world of embedded Linux out into the open, literally. Unlike desktop or server environments, where Linux is front and center, embedded Linux often runs behind the scenes. The goal of this showcase is simple: “Seeing is believing!”
The showcase offers a chance to highlight the real-world applications of embedded Linux through hands-on demos, technical deep dives, and open-source projects. It’s a space for developers to share their work, exchange ideas, and learn directly from each other. By making these projects visible and accessible, we hope to inspire more developers to explore embedded Linux and contribute to its growth.
If you’re a speaker, the showcase is also a great opportunity to expand on your talk with a live demo or hands-on component, and spend more time connecting with attendees who want to dive deeper into your topic.
