2026 Embedded Online Conference: Your Guide to This Year's Schedule

Stephane BoucherMay 7, 2026

Welcome to the 2026 Embedded Online Conference! As in previous years, the event blends pre-recorded on-demand talks with live Zoom sessions including keynotes, workshops, and track panel discussions. We've curated the schedule to deliver high-value technical content across the embedded systems landscape.

Before we dive into the day-by-day schedule, here's a quick overview of how the conference works:

On-demand and live, deliberately blended

Most talks are pre-recorded and drop on-demand at a set time each day, so you can watch them whenever fits your schedule. Live keynotes, workshops, and track panel discussions happen on Zoom. Whether you watch live or watch later, every live session is recorded and added to the on-demand library within 24 hours, so you'll never miss anything by being offline at the wrong moment.

A pre-conference head start

One Spotlight session was released on Wednesday May 6 (already available on-demand), and a batch of additional talks releases together on Friday May 8 at noon EDT, before the conference officially opens. This gives attendees time to spread the load and arrive ready for the live discussions.

The track rhythm

Each conference day at 1:30 PM EDT, two full tracks worth of talks drop together on-demand. The next morning at 8:00 AM EDT, one of those tracks gets a live panel discussion with the speakers; the second track gets its panel later that afternoon at 4:30 PM EDT. So a track's lifecycle looks like this: release at lunch → watch on your time → live panel the next day → recorded panel added to the archive within 24 hours.

A few sessions are free with a website registration only, no paid pass required. Look for the No paid pass needed badge throughout this post. There are five of them this year.

A Few Closing Notes

Watch live or watch later. Every live session (keynotes, workshops, and panels) is recorded and added to the on-demand library within 24 hours, and the full archive stays available throughout conference week. Don't worry about timezones or scheduling conflicts; whatever you miss live, you'll find on-demand the next day.

Join the conversation in the new attendee forum. New for 2026, EOC has its own attendee forum directly on the conference website at embeddedonlineconference.com/forum. Connect with peers and speakers, ask follow-up questions, and stay up to date on announcements throughout the week. (No third-party platform this year. Everything happens on the conference site itself.)

See you at the conference. If you haven't yet, register at embeddedonlineconference.com. Last-minute schedule changes can occur, so we encourage you to check the live schedule regularly.

Wishing you an insightful and inspiring 2026 Embedded Online Conference!

Stephane & Jacob
