Plan Your SUSECON 2026 Experience: The Session Scheduler Is Now Live

Four days in Prague, more than 100 sessions… and the opportunity to shape your SUSECON 2026 experience is now open.

The SUSECON 2026 session scheduler is live today, and I encourage you to dive in early. The days between April 20 and 23 will go fast, and in my experience, the people who get the most out of SUSECON are the ones who arrive with a plan.

We built the scheduler specifically so you can do that. Browse the full catalog, flag the sessions that match your priorities and build an agenda that reflects your 2026 goals.

Focusing on what matters

When we designed the agenda for SUSECON 2026, our theme, Shaping Your Resilient Future, came directly from the conversations I have with customers and partners every week. What you’ll see in these sessions is centered on the trade-offs your peers are navigating and the decisions that don’t have clean answers. We’ll exchange ideas in true open source fashion.

You also don’t want to miss the keynotes this year. They are based on themes that I see reflected in what’s keeping IT leaders up at night. 

• Choosing sovereignty with open standards: Moving beyond just data residency to discuss how open standards provide the path to maintaining control over your technology estate.
• Optimizing operational efficiencies and costs: Tackling tool sprawl and rising costs, ensuring your infrastructure works for your budget, not against it.
• Modernizing workloads across environments: A deep dive into the practicalities of modernizing virtualization without breaking what already works.
• Managing and securing hybrid cloud architecture: Addressing the increasing complexity of securing a footprint that stretches from the data center to multiple public clouds.
• Innovating with AI and next-gen technologies: Looking past the buzzwords to show how you can build a stable, scalable foundation for intelligent applications and the “next” of tech.

Finally, we’ll close the week with something I always believe matters more than people expect: the role of collaboration and open source community in making all of this actually work.

Make the most of your time at SUSECON

Beyond the keynotes, choose from 100+ sessions on AI, Cloud Native, Digital Sovereignty, Edge, Linux, Virtualization, Open Source Projects and Product Roadmaps.

Don’t miss the Documentation track on Monday, April 20, with actionable insights for technical writers and contributors.

Our Hands-On Labs are designed to go deeper. These are working sessions where you can test ideas and walk away with concrete next steps. You can also take SUSE industry certification exams at no cost while you’re there, which is a practical way to validate skills and bring tangible ROI back to your team.

Of course, some of the most profound insights happen between the scheduled events. Whether it’s over a meal, during a roundtable or at our evening celebrations, I look forward to hearing your stories and learning how we can better support your journey.
