Embedded Systems Summit 2027 is an in-person technical conference created by the team behind EmbeddedRelated.com and the Embedded Online Conference. Describing itself as an event made by embedded engineers for embedded engineers, it focuses on the practical craft of building firmware and devices for IoT, AI, robotics, automotive and medical applications, and is aimed squarely at working embedded developers and engineering teams. The second in-person edition takes place from 26 to 28 January 2027 at the Sonesta Silicon Valley hotel in Milpitas, California, the same venue that hosted the inaugural 2025 summit. The organisers intentionally keep the event small, favouring close interaction over large crowds. Session themes listed on the site include C and C++ code efficiency, fixed-point arithmetic, embedded Rust, the Zephyr RTOS, hardware-in-the-loop testing, over-the-air updates for MicroPython fleets and sensor reliability. A separate full-day, hands-on workshop on AI-assisted embedded development, with limited seats, runs on the final day. Participants leave with concrete techniques they can apply to production hardware and code, along with direct conversations with peers facing similar constraints. In a field often underserved by broad software conferences, a focused, engineer-led summit gives the embedded community a dedicated space for deep technical exchange.

Travel questions? See Good to know in the travel guide below.
Milpitas sits at the northern edge of Silicon Valley, where the bay flats meet the Diablo foothills, and late January brings the green hills that only appear in the Californian wet season. This is unglamorous working Silicon Valley: chip fabs, contract manufacturers and industrial parks rather than campus showpieces, which is precisely the right setting for an embedded hardware event. Days are mild, evenings cool and often wet.
Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International (SJC) is closest, around 15-20 minutes by road. San Francisco International (SFO) is roughly 45-60 minutes north depending on traffic, and Oakland (OAK) is a similar distance. The VTA light rail and BART's Milpitas station connect the area to San Jose and the wider bay, but a car remains the practical way to move between Valley towns.

Business Wi-Fi throughout Milpitas and the surrounding tech parks is excellent. Coverage in the hills east of town is patchier, and an eSIM activated before arrival saves dealing with US carrier stores on a short trip. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
Intel Museum. In nearby Santa Clara, this free museum traces semiconductor manufacturing from early integrated circuits to modern process nodes, with real wafer and lithography exhibits. It is genuinely relevant background for an embedded audience. Around an hour, and it is quietest on weekday mornings.
Ed R. Levin County Park. Directly above Milpitas in the foothills, with trails climbing to views across the entire south bay. January rain leaves the hills unusually green. Trails can be muddy after storms, so choose footwear accordingly; a short loop takes about two hours.
Alviso Marina County Park. A former port town swallowed by the salt marshes at the bay's southern tip, now a flat trail network through evaporation ponds full of wintering shorebirds. It is strange, quiet and photogenic. Best in the hour before sunset, and around ninety minutes on foot.
Great Mall. Built inside a former Ford assembly plant, this large outlet centre is the region's default wet-afternoon destination and sits minutes from the Milpitas conference hotels. Practical rather than scenic, but useful if January rain closes down outdoor options. Allow as long as patience holds.
Which airport is most convenient?
San Jose (SJC) is closest at roughly 15-20 minutes by road; SFO and Oakland are both around an hour depending on traffic.
Can I get around without a car?
BART and VTA reach Milpitas, but Silicon Valley destinations are spread out and a car or rideshare is far more practical.
What is the January weather?
Mild days around 15C with cool nights and a real chance of rain — this is the wet season in Northern California.
