Finally, some exciting news: Participants in our Foundation-facilitated workshops will earn the first Rust Foundation Workshop Completion Badge (issued via Credly and publicly verifiable). This pilot is an early step toward our contributions to creating clearer pathways for professional recognition in the #rustlang ecosystem. 🧡
Later, another workshop presented by the Rust Foundation and hosted by Fledgio: “When Floats Lie: Quantization, Performance, and Why Rust Keeps AI from Corroding”
— A hands-on workshop exploring numeric precision, quantization, and AI inference in Rust.
Our Executive Director & CEO Dr. Rebecca Rumbul will be presenting a talk about where #rustlang fits in the next phase of digital infrastructure. Take a look at the program to find her talk! https://talentarena.tech/agenda-2026/ #MWC26 #TalentArena26
