Hi all,
We are pleased to announce that the Confidential Computing devroom will return to FOSDEM 2026. The devroom will take place on Sunday, February 1, 2026 (9:00-13:00) in Brussels, Belgium. We are now accepting talk proposals through the FOSDEM Pretalx systemund here: https://falder.org/fosdem26-cfp.
This will be the seventh edition of the devroom, continuing our focus on the open-source ecosystem around hardware-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), also known as Confidential Computing.
We invite submissions addressing any aspect of free and open-source confidential computing, including but not limited to:
Programming frameworks and operating system support for TEEs
Open-source attestation and deployment frameworks
Cloud-native confidential computing use cases
Language and compiler support for trusted hardware
TEE-specific attacks, mitigations, and reverse engineering
Open enclave architectures (RISC-V, GPUs, accelerators, etc.)
Visions and discussions on future trusted hardware
This year, attestation-related topics are again welcome in our devroom.
Submission deadline: December 1, 2025
Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2025
Devroom date: February 1, 2026 (Sunday, 9:00-13:00)
Talk slots are generally 20-40 minutes including Q&A, but shorter presentations (around 10 minutes) for focused ideas or discussion points are also welcome.
