Conference at a glance

Business context on day one, technical depth on day two.

The hands-on tutorial covered CHERI and CHERIoT, memory safety, compartmentalisation and the associated hardware-software stacks. The main conference followed with keynotes, public-programme and industry updates, then a more technical second day. The official page reports more than 100 livestream attendees.

The archive is particularly useful when you need a broad 2026 snapshot of the ecosystem before choosing a narrower paper, platform or working group.
