This year the Red Hat Summit event is a bit different as we bridge the gap from pandemic reality to hopefully a form of normalcy.
As the Red Hat Summit site explains to us, this "...event is expanding to become an all-new, flexible conference series, consisting of a 2‑part immersive virtual experience as well as a global tour of small-scale, in-person* events. This series will create collective opportunities to share experiences, innovations, and insights."
