Announcing ROSCon 2025 in the Republic of Singapore 
Our call for proposals and diversity scholarship application form are now open and we are currently seeking sponsors for ROSCon 2025!
ROSCon 2025
I am happy to announce that we just launched the ROSCon 2025 website! This year’s ROSCon will take place in the Republic of Singapore 2025-10-27T07:00:00Z→2025-10-29T07:00:00Z.
The Republic of Singapore has a long history of supporting the ROS project and the robotics industry and we’re excited for our Singaporean colleagues to show us what they have been working on! Singapore is home to a number of ROS core contributors, most of the Open-RMF core contributors, our colleagues at ROS Industrial AP and OSRA member organization National Robotics Program of Singapore.
If you’re a ROS developer you won’t want to miss ROSCon 2025; we’ll have most of the ROS core developers and contributors all in one place for three days for talks, workshops, birds-of-a-feather sessions, robot demonstrations, and vendor exhibitions. Last year ROSCon completely sold out, so we recommend you keep an eye on the website and plan to register early.
Sponsor ROSCon 2025
We can’t make ROSCon happen without the generous support of our sponsors. If your organization would like to exhibit at ROSCon you can find our sponsorship prospectus here. We offer five different levels of event sponsorship along with a variety of sponsorship add-ons to increase your exposure. Perhaps you would like to help support one of our many ROSCon Diversity Scholars? Whatever your interests, we encourage you to book your space early, as exhibit space out last year and fully expect it to sell out again this year.
ROSCon Call for Proposals & Important Dates 
I am happy to announce that ROSCon CFP opens today, March 24th! We want to encourage everyone in the ROS community to submit their talk and workshop proposals, don’t hold back! We absolutely want to hear about your ROS development experiences. The advice I give to all my interns and employees is to never self-censor, let the CFP reviewers decide if your idea is worth presenting. If you’ve never attended a ROSCon we absolutely want to hear what you have to say!
ROSCon workshop proposals are due 2025-05-05T07:00:00Z and regular session talk proposals are due 2025-06-02T07:00:00Z, about a month later. We plan on having proposals reviewed and finalized by 2025-07-07T07:00:00Z. All of the important event dates are listed below and on the ROSCon website.

ROSCon 2025 Diversity Scholarships 
The ROSCon Diversity Scholarship is the only program we offer to help students and new open source contributors attend ROSCon. If you would like to attend ROSCon 2025 but don’t have the financial means, this is our one and only program to help you get there! The scholarship covers ROSCon admission, travel, and shared lodging at the event. We recommend you start your application early! Like last year, this year’s ROSCon diversity scholarship application form is currently open and accepting applications. This year the application deadline for Diversity Scholarships will be 2025-04-18T07:00:00Z, a little less than a month from now.
