Developer Day Dubai

05/11/2026 | 09:00 - 16:00

Sheraton JBR | Dubai | United Arab Emirates

Event overview

 
The landscape of software development is shifting. From the rise of Platform Engineering to the integration of Generative AI into the inner loop, developers are being asked to build faster, smarter, and more securely.
 
Red Hat Developer Day is a high-energy, technical immersion designed to give you the tools to master this new era. Join us as we explore the intersection of Cloud-Native applications and AI, moving beyond the hype into practical execution.
 
Why you should attend:
 
  • AI-Powered Apps: Learn how to integrate Generative AI directly into your cloud-native workflows.
  • Gamified GitOps: Watch AI and GitOps collide in our "RoShambo" (Rock, Paper, Scissors) challenge.
  • The Virtualization Shift: See OpenShift Virtualization through a developer’s lens—managing VMs and containers on a single platform.
  • The Developer Challenge: Put your skills to the test in our Open Source LLM Creation Challenge and the OpenShift AI Challenge.

 

Register and bring your laptop, your curiosity, and your competitive spirit.
 

Bring your laptops for the hands on Lab.
