Red Hat Summit has become a must-attend event focused on advancements in open source, with customers, partners, and open source industry leaders from around the world coming together for a high-energy week of innovation, education, and collaboration. Open source is transforming the technology industry and helping organizations around the world innovate faster. But open source innovation is only possible because of the people behind it.

When individuals are given the tools to innovate and find new solutions to old problems everyone benefits. These individuals are creating significant advancements in a variety of fields, from healthcare and infrastructure to finance, government and more.
Attendees will hear keynotes on the future of enterprise technology and open source from industry leaders. Several Red Hat executives are scheduled to deliver keynotes at Red Hat Summit 2017, including Jim Whitehurst, president and CEO, and Paul Cormier, president, Products and Technologies. Red Hat’s Marco Bill-Peter, vice president of Customer Experience and Engagement will host the Red Hat Innovation Awards.
Sessions will be presented by experts from Red Hat, customers, partners, and community contributors, offering attendees an opportunity to dive into the latest product innovations and hear
best practices from across multiple industries.
