Red Hat's annual open source event returned with Red Hat Summit 2026 in Atlanta from May 11-14.
At the 2026 summit, IT professionals, technology leaders and members of the open source community experienced four days of breakout sessions, panels, keynotes and more. The event agenda covered more than 45 topic areas across 15 industries, all tying back to this year's theme of "Navigate what's now. Unlock what's next."
For Red Hat, AI has proven to be what's now and next: Two event keynotes addressed how the company's platform supports enterprises as they put AI into production. Attendees participated in hands-on labs involving AIOps, agentic AI and integrating AI tools with Red Hat infrastructure.
Informa TechTarget's editorial team covered the major announcements from this year's event, providing expert analysis on all the news from the 2026 summit.
