As we close out the last day of this year’s Red Hat Summit, it’s time to mark your calendar for next year’s event. May 11-14, 2026, we’re taking the industry's premier enterprise open source technology conference to the Empire City of the South – Atlanta, GA. For the first time, Red Hat Summit and AnsibleFest 2026 will take place in the city known for its music royalty, historical legacy, mouthwatering soul food, Hollywood film sets and iconic brands.
As always, our annual event will bring together thousands of customers, partners and technology industry leaders and open source community members from around the world for another high-energy week of innovation, education and collaboration. Red Hat Summit is the place for our customers, partners, community members and IT professionals to innovate, learn and help shape the future of the enterprise. Whether you’re interested in interacting with Red Hat products and services, learning more about our new technologies, or networking with experts and peers–there’s something for everyone at Red Hat Summit.
