We love September at Red Hat. For us, it’s when we kick off our 15-city tour around EMEA, beginning in Helsinki on Sept. 5, and where mellow autumn days bring the goodness of open source to so many.

I’ve been with Red Hat for more than five years and each year Forum is an unmissable extravaganza of the very best that Red Hat and open source has to offer, crafted around a recipe that we have all come to know and love. Attendees can expect insightful keynote sessions from Red Hat experts, partners and customers. Here are a few of the highlights I’m looking forward to at Red Hat Forum events in EMEA this Autumn:

• Zurich, Sept. 12 - Swiss financial services provider SIX will share insights on their next-generation container platform   

• London, Oct. 3 -  Deutsche Bank will discuss their Everything-as-a-Service vision

• Tel Aviv, Nov. 14 - our first Red Hat ‘Escape Room’

Visitors can also take advantage of customer breakout sessions, networking opportunities, and that unmistakable Red Hat ingredient - a lot of fun.

Digital transformation and hybrid cloud, are seemingly inescapable topics right now in enterprise tech. Beyond the hype though, at Forum, Red Hat customers already on the road to digital and cultural transformation will share their experiences and how with Red Hat they have found a technology partner they can not only trust, but also one who cares and is deeply dedicated to them and their success at every stage of this journey. There will be deep and detailed technical sessions for those that want to look under the hood of our containerization and Red Hat OpenShift technologies, and much more.

Red Hat Forum is a reunion of old friends and a warm Red Hat welcome to the new. So what are you waiting for? Register today. We look forward to seeing you there.
