We’re excited to announce the 2024 Red Hat® Training Conference will be back in person this year, bringing together our Training Partners, Red Hat Instructors and Red Hat Academy! The conference will be held at the Red Hat Tower, 100 E. Davie Street Raleigh, NC 27601 from April 17 - 18, 2024.
Join us to hear updates on the curriculum, certifications, global strategy, partner successes and more. The agenda will also include a “building business together” off-site, marketing enablement and a special keynote that will be announced soon!
