Join us for a one-day deep-dive into the latest trends redefining enterprise infrastructure and technology in the industrial sector. From software supply chains to the way we scale data and generative AI, open source is defining the next decade of tech. Canonical Days are free events designed for IT & industry leaders, architects, and decision-makers looking to modernize their stack with open source. Through insightful keynotes, technical sessions, demos, and conversations with local industry experts, you’ll gain practical strategies to future-proof your roadmap.

Why attend?

Canonical Days are designed to help you turn your vision into a blueprint. We explore key pillars of modern infrastructure:

  • Cloud architectures: whether you’re looking to migrate from proprietary solutions, repatriate your workloads, or adopt a modern platform, uncover open source technologies that give you control, efficiency and choice.

  • Scalable data systems and AI innovation: from seamless database deployments to AI inference, explore how to drive your organization’s AI transformation.

  • Software supply chain security: stay at the cutting edge of tech without compromising security and compliance. See how a trusted platform and open source catalog helps you mitigate risks and gain back time to focus on your core business.

  • Bridge the IT/OT Divide: discover how to build an immutable, securely-designed digital foundation for managing large scale distributed factory floors, remote rigs, and IIoT devices. Enable fully compliant low downtime operations and modernize legacy systems through integrated AI and telemetry.

Join us for the insights. Enjoy networking with peers and Canonical leadership.
