What's new at Red Hat Summit 2025

This year, Red Hat Summit and AnsibleFest 2025 is back in Boston with a bigger and more interactive experience than ever! Whether you're a long-time attendee or considering joining for the first time, this year's event promises exciting new experiences designed to help you connect, learn, and grow in the world of open source innovation. 

Explore the expo hall 

In the expo hall, you can connect 1-on-1 with subject matter experts to get answers to your most pressing questions. You can also watch live demos of products and technologies, explore Red Hat product booths on emerging projects like InstructLab, AI, edge computing, and all things Linux. 

You'll be busy, but you can learn quickly through 20-minute lightning talks provided throughout. More than that, you can also find the fun between presentations with interactive offerings, like customizing your own bag with exclusive Red Hat Summit patches!

Expand your network

Networking at Red Hat Summit 2025 goes beyond traditional meet and greets, it's about connecting in ways that matter to you. Start the event in style at our opening reception on Monday, May 19, and then choose how you want to network throughout the week. Attend industry happy hours to meet professionals in your field, visit persona lounges in the expo hall to find like-minded attendees, or connect with Red Hatters and experts at designated "Ask the Experts" areas within the Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ansible, OpenShift, and AI booths. And finally, wrap up your Summit experience with a final networking reception and a lively celebration on historic Lansdowne Street on Wednesday, May 21.
