Join us to see how you can maintain rock-solid stability while empowering modern enterprise workloads at any scale.

As organizations transition AI from experiments to foundational applications, they face complex mandates. True Sovereign AI requires more than data localization; it demands a comprehensive strategy across data, operations, assurance, and technology. Many leaders mistakenly believe this necessitates fully isolated, on-premise deployments, which can hinder scalability and create fragmentation. This session demonstrates how to translate these constraints into scalable architectures using a pattern-based approach. We will explore deployment models, such as the Sovereign Cloud Pattern, to help balance regulatory requirements with AI innovation. Attendees will learn to establish a layered platform architecture for a closed-loop AI lifecycle, ensuring models and data remain within legal boundaries while providing the verifiable audit trails required for trust. Join us to discover how to leverage open hybrid foundations to deploy policy-driven, auditable Sovereign AI at scale.

The Mythos moment has arrived, and frontier AI is now capable of autonomously discovering, chaining, and exploiting vulnerabilities at machine speed. How do you defend your infrastructure, when the time to exploit vulnerabilities is now measured in hours, not on weeks? In this session we'll explore how Red Hat takes a Defence in Depth approach across our products. We'll explore new capabilities like Red Hat Hardened Images, the Zero Trust Workload Identity Operator, and even using AI to better secure AI. Join this session to learn how you can better use the batteries included security capabilities with your Red Hat subscriptions.

Join Red Hat as we tackle why most AI initiatives stall, not because the models don't work, but because organisations can't operationalise them. We'll identify the four barriers to real AI value: spiralling economics, safety and trust gaps, inconsistent quality, and the struggle to reach production. Underlying all four is one root cause: embedding non-deterministic models into business processes that demand predictability. We'll unpack the six controls that resolve this tension and turn ambition into reliable, governed AI systems, and introduce GenAIOps: the discipline, practices, and platform capabilities that make those controls real at enterprise scale. Walk away with a clear framework for assessing where your own AI initiatives stand and what's needed to get them to production with confidence.

AI adoption often leads to siloed models, fragmented infrastructure, and governance challenges. This session explores how Red Hat AI enables organizations to become their own Private Model-as-a-Service provider, delivering secure, governed AI models through self-service APIs. Learn how to centralize model serving, optimize GPU utilization, enforce governance, and provide a scalable AI platform across hybrid cloud environments, empowering developers to consume AI without managing the underlying infrastructure.

Join Red Hat as we explore how AI agents are reshaping software development and why the security foundations built for human-speed development can't keep pace with machine-speed risk. Regulators are raising the bar for secure software supply chains and AI governance as autonomous coding agents move from novelty to mainstream practice, creating both opportunity and risk at speed. We'll introduce the Trusted Software Factory: an SLSA Level 3-aligned architecture that embeds security, policy enforcement, and traceability directly into the build pipeline, built on Red Hat OpenShift Platform Plus and the Red Hat Advanced Developer Suite. We'll then look ahead to the agentic SDLC spectrum, from simple copilots to autonomous, self-directed development agents, and to what it takes to safely operationalise agentic coding at enterprise scale. Walk away with a practical model for securing software as development itself becomes agentic.

Agentic AI is reshaping enterprise application development, but realizing its value requires more than deploying models. It requires an operational AI platform spanning infrastructure, inference, model serving, evaluation, governance, and lifecycle management. This session explores how Red Hat AI operationalizes the full AI stack, from Model as a Service, AgentOps, AI Safety and Evaluation for production workloads. Attendees will learn how Red Hat AI provides a secure, scalable, and open foundation for building, deploying, evaluating, and governing AI applications across hybrid cloud environments. The presentation also examines emerging trends including open weight models, token economics, AI governance, and the evolution toward agentic AI. Through architectural guidance and real-world examples, participants will gain practical strategies for operationalizing enterprise AI with continuous evaluation, observability, security, and governance while maintaining flexibility, compliance, and control.

Your observability and AI platforms are generating insights faster than teams can act on them. Yet insights alone do not resolve incidents. Every manual handoff between detection and remediation adds delay, inconsistency, and operational risk. In this session, we will explore the missing layer in many AIOps strategies: a trusted, governed execution framework that transforms insights into action while preserving the auditability, change control, and compliance enterprise operations demand. Using Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, we will show how organizations are closing the loop between insights and action through automated remediation, self-healing workflows, and intelligent orchestration, while establishing the governance and execution foundation required for agentic AI.

Join us for an insightful session on "Top Floor to Shop Floor Modernization" tailored specifically for manufacturing and conglomerates. We will explore the vital convergence of Information Technology (IT) and Operational Technology (OT), spanning from headquarters data centers down to shop floor devices, PLCs, and sensors.

The session explores the emergence of Neoclouds, the factors accelerating its adoption, and why it represents a significant opportunity for Telco operators, Cloud service providers, and infrastructure providers. We will cover key architectural building blocks, design considerations, operational challenges, and future trends, while highlighting how Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat OpenShift AI help organizations build secure, scalable, and enterprise-ready AI infrastructure.

Open. Secure. Sovereign: Powering India's Digital Future is a strategic executive briefing designed for Indian government leadership that positions digital sovereignty as the critical next evolution of India's digital journey. Drawing on India's extraordinary scale of digital public infrastructure including 1.44 billion Aadhaar identities and 21.7 billion UPI transactions, the presentation argues that this foundation must now be secured and made sovereign as cyber threats surge (29.44 lakh incidents in 2025), AI becomes central to governance (₹10,371 crore IndiaAI Mission), and the DPDP Act creates enforceable data protection mandates. The briefing introduces a five-dimensional sovereignty framework encompassing digital, data, cloud, AI, and technology sovereignty, and recommends a hybrid architecture spanning sovereign and hyperscale clouds built on open, portable technology platforms as the most reliable hedge against vendor lock-in and geopolitical risk. The core message is that digital sovereignty is not isolation but a strategic choice and the decisions government leaders make today on cloud, AI, and security will compound across the next two decades to define India's digital independence.
