Red Hat Summit 2026 call for proposals is now open

For the first time, Red Hat Summit is coming to Atlanta, Georgia, and we’re building an agenda of technical and non-technical content for our experienced audience. We're looking for our community of experts—customers, partners, and associates—to share their knowledge and experiences.

The call for proposals is open now, from October 1 until November 12. Submit your session proposal today for a chance to present at Red Hat Summit, May 11–14, 2026 at the Georgia World Congress Center.

We're looking for more advanced session content this year. We want sessions that go beyond the basics, offering deeper insights and more technical detail to help our audience get the most out of their Red Hat investments.

Proposals should focus on the following themes:

• Application of Red Hat technologies
• Customer and partner success stories
• Emerging tech and evolving technologies
• Community and team innovation
• Development best practices and trends

Also - keep in mind that all proposals should focus on Red Hat products, services, and the broader open ecosystem. Check out Red Hat’s Summit 2026 CFP guide for more details, tips, and tricks on submitting your ideas. Red Hat Summit offers a unique opportunity to connect with a global community of innovators, share your expertise, and build your professional network. Presenting at Summit is a great way to give back to the open source community, highlighting the real-world impact of open collaboration.
