ROSCon 2025
Republic of Singapore
October 27th - 29th, 2025
ROSCon 2025 will be held in Singapore on October 27th - October 29th, 2025. ROSCon 2025 is a chance for ROS developers of all levels, beginner to expert, to spend an extraordinary three days learning from and networking with the ROS community. Get tips and tricks from experts and meet and share ideas with fellow developers.
ROSCon is a developers’ conference, in the model of PyCon and BoostCon. Following the success of our past events, this year’s ROSCon will be our fourteenth ROSCon and held in Singapore. Similar to previous years, the three-day program will comprise a mixture of workshops, technical talks, and tutorials that will introduce you to new tools and libraries, as well as teach you more about the ones you already know. The bulk of the program will be presentations, along with panel discussions, lightning talks, demonstrations, and workshops.
We aim for ROSCon to represent the entire ROS community, which is global and diverse. Whoever you are, whatever you do, and wherever you do it, if you’re interested in ROS, then we want you to join us at ROSCon. We encourage women, members of minority groups, and members of other under-represented groups to attend ROSCon. We expect all attendees to follow our code of conduct.
If you have questions, concerns, or ideas for ROSCon 2025, 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’d like to share.

“I am deeply grateful for being selected as a scholarship recipient for ROScon 2023. This experience was empowering and an amazing opportunity to engage with a diverse group of students and roboticists. It provided me with a valuable space to absorb knowledge from leading robotics experts and gain a deeper understanding of the latest advancements in ROS 2. The conference atmosphere was exceptionally collaborative and inviting, which I greatly appreciate.’
