Announcing TokioConf 2026

We’re happy to announce the inaugural TokioConf, a dedicated conference for developers building asynchronous network applications in Rust. It will be a single-track event bringing together developers from many areas to talk about how they use Tokio and Rust to build high-performance, reliable production applications. Expect talks, panels, and time to share challenges and lessons learned.

When: April 20-22, 2026
Where: Portland, OR
Website: tokioconf.com | Mastodon | BlueSky

Why TokioConf?

More and more teams are using Rust and Tokio in production, and they’re all tackling similar challenges—bringing Rust into existing systems, helping new developers get up to speed, designing for reliability, and figuring out how to test and deploy async code at scale. TokioConf is a space for those conversations to swap ideas, learn from each other, and help the community figure out where async Rust goes next.

Be Part of It

We’ve got ideas for topics we’d love to see—debugging async code, instrumenting production systems, or successfully introducing Rust at work. But for now, TokioConf is a blank canvas, and we want to hear from you.

What talks would help you build faster, more reliable async applications? What challenges are you facing? Let us know! Drop a comment on the Reddit thread, or mention us on Bluesky or Mastodon.

The call for proposals (CFP) is opening soon, and we can’t wait to hear your ideas.
