Raleigh-based Red Hat no longer holding summit in San Francisco due to COVID-19

Raleigh-based Red Hat announced on its website Wednesday night it has decided to not hold its Red Hat Summit 2020 in San Francisco. It will, instead, hold a "virtual event."

The company said the Red Hat Summit Virtual Experience will be held April 28-29 and will be "a free, immersive multi-day event." It also said the event "delivers the same inspiring content from Red Hat Summit 2020—keynotes, breakout sessions, access to Red Hat experts, and more."

The press release also said "We are still working through many of the details for the virtual event, but are excited about the opportunity to share our newest innovations with you and bring content on the latest in Linux, cloud, automation and management, container, and Kubernetes technologies to an even wider global audience. We will post additional information here and on the Red Hat Summit site as we have it."
