Talks for Tokio users
The program is picked for people who use Tokio, not just people who work on it. Adoption stories, debugging in production, performance patterns: things you can take back to work.
The Async Rust
sync-up in
Portland.
TokioConf is the official annual event of the Tokio community. It’s your chance to hear from the Tokio team, contributors, and developers shipping with async Rust.
April 26–27, 2027The Armory, Portland, Oregon
If Tokio is in your Cargo.toml,
this event is for you.
Deep on networking
Rather than covering all of Rust, TokioConf goes deep on network programming. That means talks can get into the weeds, like finding the one task blocking your executor or reasoning about cancellation.
The hallway track
Everyone there is working through the same problems, so you can skip straight to comparing notes. Last year’s hallway conversations even turned into an idea for a new spawn_compute API in Tokio.

That was a good first year.
In April 2026 our inaugural event brought developers to Portland to dig into the present and future of async Rust.
Every talk was recorded. Catch up on what you missed, or rewatch your favorites.

Stay for Portland.
We’ll meet at The Armory, historically the First Regiment Armory Annex and now home to Portland Center Stage at The Armory. Downtown Portland in late April is walkable, green, and full of good coffee. Bring a light rain jacket, just in case.
Easy to get to
Light rail runs straight from PDX airport to downtown. No car needed.
Coffee & food carts
Some of the best coffee and cheap eats in the country, a short walk from the venue.
Spring in the PNW
Blossoms, green everything, and the occasional drizzle. Layers recommended.
In the Pearl District
The Armory sits among galleries, breweries, and bookshops, a few blocks from Powell’s City of Books.
Got a story about async Rust?
The call for proposals opens later this year. First-time speakers are very welcome: about a quarter of last year’s speakers were giving their first conference talk. Join the list and we’ll tell you the moment it’s open.
Sponsor TokioConf 2027
Sponsorship keeps tickets affordable and puts your team in a room of people who build with async Rust every day.
