The Xen Spring Meetup 2026 is a two-day, in-person community event taking place on April 2–3, 2026 in Grenoble, France, hosted at Université Grenoble Alpes.

The Xen Project is a mature, widely deployed open-source hypervisor powering critical infrastructure across cloud, server, desktop, embedded, and increasingly safety-critical and automotive systems. The Spring Meetup is a key moment for the Xen community to come together to share experience, discuss technical direction, and shape what comes next.

We are looking for technical, experience-driven talks from across the Xen ecosystem, including:

• Xen development, internals, and architecture
• Tooling, testing, CI, and automation
• Cloud, edge, embedded, and safety-critical use cases
• Research, experimentation, and emerging directions
• Community processes, governance, and collaboration

This event values practical insight and honest experience. Talks should focus on real-world usage, lessons learned, and technical depth. This is not a sales or marketing event, and proposals should avoid promotional content.

Whether you’re a long-time contributor, a maintainer, a researcher, or running Xen in production, the Spring Meetup is a place to share what you’re building, what you’re learning, and where you think Xen should go next. First-time speakers and new voices are very welcome.

We look forward to your submissions and to building a strong, community-led program together in Grenoble.
