ROSCon UK 2026 will take place in Edinburgh on Mid October, 2026.

ROSCon UK 2026 is a chance for ROS developers of all levels, beginner to expert, to spend an extraordinary 3 days learning from and networking with the ROS community of the UK in Edinburgh. Get tips and tricks from experts and meet and share ideas with fellow developers.

ROSCon UK is a developers conference. The programme comprised a mixture of networking and social events, workshops, technical talks, and tutorials that introduced you to new tools and libraries, as well as teach you more about the ones you already know. The bulk of the programme focused on contributions from the United Kingdom.

We aim for ROSCon UK to represent the entire ROS community in the UK. Whoever you are, whatever you do, and wherever you do it, if you are interested in ROS, then we want you to join us at ROSCon UK. We encourage women, members of minority groups, and members of other under-represented groups to attend ROSCon UK. We expect all attendees to follow our code of conduct.

If you have questions, concerns, or ideas for ROSCon UK 2026, please contact the executive committee.

We also welcome suggestions for what else we can do to encourage more participation. Contact us if you have ideas that you would like to share.
