IDEAS WORTH EXPLORING
Come with questions. Leave with ideas.
Open source is collaborative curiosity. It’s about a culture with a desire to connect and the technologies to do it. Yet what draws our attention isn’t the technology alone; it’s what we can do with it. It gives us the platform for imagination, a focal point to collectively push for new possibilities.
Red Hat Forums are the place for these questions, a gathering of the curious, an arena of ideas to reinvent what we have and to dream of what we might.
The Red Hat Forum in Riyadh is the premier open source technology event to showcase the latest in cloud computing, platform, virtualization, middleware, storage, and systems management technologies. The event brings together CxOs, IT decision makers, architects and developers amongst others to discuss topics such as DevOps, hybrid cloud, containers, SAP Migration to SAP HANA, and many more topics that are driving innovation.
Join us on September 25th to learn more from leading enterprises and partners as they share success stories of their digital journeys.
Other highlights include:
- Keynotes from leading executives across EMEA.
- Business and technical breakout sessions from Red Hat and its partners.
- Meet with Red Hat and their partner community.
- Network and share advice, opinions and guidance with the technology community at large.
- Discover the latest in open source innovation.
