EVENT OVERVIEW

Red Hat Summit is the premier open source technology event to showcase the latest and greatest in

cloud computing, platform, virtualization, middleware, storage, and systems management technologies.

Attendees gain the best knowledge in the industry through:

• Technical and business sessions.

• Hands-on labs and demos.

• Customer panels and presentations.

• Visionary keynotes from industry leaders.

• Networking opportunities and events.

• Direct collaboration with Red Hat engineers.

Each year, this event brings together Red Hat customers, partners, industry experts, and community

contributors to learn, network, and experience the full potential of open source. The 11th annual Red

Hat Summit will take place on June 23 – 26, 2015 in Boston, MA at the Hynes Convention Center.

2015 THEME

Red Hat Summit sparks a connection, a current that runs through the open source community and

electrifies the enterprise. This...current....it’s about tapping into the hum of excitement that courses

just below the surface in our industry, out of sight but palpable. Tapping into and almost “feeling”

the electric crackle and pop of the energy that surges through networks, through communities, and

through the minds of the many contributors who make what we do possible. When customers, part-

ners, peers, and people all plug in to Summit, the synapses start firing and the possibilities pop. All

on the same current. All at Red Hat Summit 2015.
