Red Hat® Summit 2020's shift from an in-person to a virtual event didn't stop us from learning about and celebrating open source and its communities. Catch up on what you missed, or relive some of the highlights.
The Red Hat Shares newsletter helps IT leaders navigate the complicated world of IT―the open source way.
FROM THE EDITOR
A Red Hat Summit like no other
Red Hat Summit 2020, like most things this year, looked a little different than in the past. This year's theme was “From here, anywhere.” But the shift from an in-person to a virtual event resulted in a Summit perhaps better characterized as “From anywhere, here.” While we weren’t able to gather in San Francisco as originally planned, the virtual event gave us the privilege of connecting with so many more open source enthusiasts (56,063* so far, to be exact) worldwide.
In this time, where the only constant is change, attendees of Red Hat Summit 2020 Virtual Experience inspired us to keep our focus on Red Hat’s founding principles―openness, community, and collaboration―which will guide us on the path forward.
We had 242 keynotes, breakouts, and recorded lab demos. There were 20 “Ask the Red Hat experts” sessions, #PetsOfRHSummit on Twitter, arcade games, the #CodeIsOpen photo maker, mindfulness sessions, a lot of peer-to-peer networking, plenty of news, the “How to Start a Robot Revolution” Open Source Stories trailer, attendees loving the demo with Burr Sutter and team (as always), the CO.LAB Robot Kit, and so much more. Remember, you can view the on-demand sessions for 1 year after their air dates.
In this special edition of Red Hat Shares, check out highlights from the virtual event, including featured keynotes, the top breakout sessions, our award winners, and more.

“The fact that Red Hat Summit 2020 was available online when so many of us are still huddled up at home wondering when our world will reopen was a testament not just to great technology but to the deep-seated conviction that it is critical that we work together and that open source can make that happen in ways that nothing else can.”
