Rust in Python: Deep Dive and Experience Sharing

This full-day summit is dedicated to exploring the intersection of Rust and the Python ecosystem. Attendees can expect an intensive schedule built around in-depth discussions, collaborative problem-solving, and practical experience sharing focused specifically on integrating Rust into Python projects and the development of high-performance Python tools (e.g., using technologies like PyO3, Maturin, or writing performant native extensions). The goal is to move beyond introductory concepts to tackle real-world challenges, performance optimizations, and best practices in production environments. This summit is designed for developers who already possess some practical experience in these topics and are looking to deepen their expertise, share lessons learned, and contribute to the community's collective knowledge.

Keynote Speaker

This year we have invited David Hewitt to join us.

David is a freelance software engineer with a mission to connect the Rust and Python software ecosystems. He is a leading maintainer of PyO3 and has spoken at both Python and Rust conferences about how the interop between the two languages works and his vision for its future. He has worked with companies in sectors including finance, energy and techonology on both proprietary and open-source codebases. David can be found streaming open source development on YouTube, most recently in a collaboration with Petr Viktorin to further native UTF-8 support for Python.
