Red Hat Summit: Connect 2026 Milano

Red Hat's Italian Connect day at Allianz MiCo, 09:00 to 17:00, on hybrid cloud, cloud-native platforms, virtualisation, automation, application modernisation, AI, security and digital sovereignty.

Fabio Grassini opens at 10:00; Chris Morgan gives the keynote, "Built for impact: AI, security and the infrastructure decisions that matter". Customer cases run to lunch. The afternoon splits into parallel tracks: Developer Experience & AI, with Matteo Mortari and Daniele Zonca on AI safety, AI gateways and agents on OpenShift AI; Cloud & Operations, with Ansible automation alongside OpenShift Virtualization and RHEL security; and partner tracks from Microsoft, NVIDIA, Cisco and Akamas. Intel is main sponsor.

Registration is open to people without a Red Hat account; no price is published.

Why go: the afternoon tracks are engineer-level rather than keynote-level, and the OpenShift AI agent sessions are the most concrete material on running agents in production you will get locally. Best for platform engineers, SREs and infrastructure leads.
