Check out the RustWeek 2025 homepage for details.

Rust Project track (Wednesday)

On Wednesday, the second day of the RustWeek 2025 conference, there will be a dedicated room for the "Rust Project track".

Team members are giving talks as part of this track that are mainly relevant to Rust project members and contributors. See the Wednesday conference schedule for an overview of the talks.

To attend the conference, you'll need a conference ticket. If your employer is unable to pay for your ticket, please request a sponsored ticket from the Rust Foundation through grants@rustfoundation.org.

Pre-All-Hands (Thursday)

Schedule: See the schedule spreadsheet.

The day before the all-hands, we will have some time to relax at a fun and informal "pre-all-hands" day. This takes place at the same venue as the all-hands.

If you do feel the urge to do anything productive on this day, there will be plenty of rooms to work or collaborate with others. For everyone else, there will be board games, Lego, outdoor games, and plenty of other team members to hang out with.

You don't need a separate ticket for the Pre-All-Hands.

Celebration (Thursday afternoon)

At the same venue, in the afternoon and evening, we will be celebrating the 10th birthday of Rust 1.0 together with Rust project alumni, Rust users, and sponsors.

Rust's 10th birthday happens to fall exactly on the same day as the release of Rust 1.87.0, which will happen live on stage.

All attendees of the Rust All-Hands are also invited to the celebration. You don't need a separate ticket for the celebration. If you want to bring a +1, contact Mara on Zulip.

All-Hands (Friday and Saturday)

Schedule: See the schedule spreadsheet.

Covid policy: Please review our covid policy for the all hands.

The Rust All-Hands 2025 will officially begin on Friday. In the main room, several 1-hour cross team sessions will be held. Other than that, each team or topic will have its own room.

In total, we will have 12 rooms available to us. See the schedule for details and points of contact for each room.

Each room will have tables made out of cardboard that you can write on and a whiteboard and/or flipover. Most rooms will have a large HDMI screen as well.

To attend the Rust All-Hands, you'll need to register.

Co-located Unconference

At the same venue, in the other wing of the same building, there will be a parallel event: an unconference for Rust maintainers. This unconference will include rooms for Rust for Linux, Bevy, UI/app development, the embedded working group, and more (TBD).

This provides a great opportunity for collaboration. You can invite potential users to your discussions about new Rust features, or you can ask to join one of the maintainer rooms to hear about their Rust needs.

Travel and Hotel

See the RustWeek 2025 homepage for details on the location of the conference and how to travel there.

For attendees of the All-Hands, we have block reservations at three hotels that you can make use of. Additional hotel recommendations can be found on the hotels page.

If you don't have an employer that pays for your trip, make sure to request a reimbursement from the Rust Foundation by contacting grants@rustfoundation.org.

This page will be updated with more information in the following weeks and months.

If you have any logistical or organisational questions, please reach out to Mara on Zulip!
