Mark you calendars for our featured speakers

We have a number of featured speakers participating in this year’s Red Hat Summit, including in keynote presentations each day.

On May 10, Red Hat President and CEO Paul Cormier will explore the concept of “the new normal” in enterprise IT and how CIOs can establish an innovative, more flexible future for their organization with open source technologies.

In that same session, Red Hat Executive Vice President of Products and Technologies Matt Hicks will discuss how organizations can use this new normal to connect their geniuses and turn raw potential into their own innovation engine.

On May 11, Red Hat CTO Chris Wright will present his technological vision for modern enterprises, and ask attendees to reimagine what they believe is possible at their organizations so that they can build the future they want.

Wright will do this by sharing his vision of a distributed system that blends the physical and virtual worlds, and creates richer insights so that enterprises can be smarter, sustainable, and more secure. Alongside Red Hat SVP Stefanie Chiras, Wright will describe Red Hat's collaborative efforts in open source communities and with its partners. You'll learn how those efforts find their way into the real-world IT environments of Red Hat's customers.
