Digital Sovereignty on Your Own Terms; Before Someone Else Sets Them
Frank Feldmann

Digital sovereignty rarely fails on principle, it fails in the trade-offs. Reach for the AI frontier and risk losing control of your data; own the stack and risk falling behind it. Consolidate suppliers for the discount and hand over pricing power. Buy the SaaS and run on a black box next week; run it open and carry the weight yourself. Every sovereignty decision is made under financial pressure, a moving regulatory target, and a real skills gap. No one said it was simple.

This session reframes sovereignty not as a compliance exercise, but as something leaders deliberately take: the freedom to exit, pivot, audit and repatriate when conditions change. We'll work through the dilemmas executives actually face, the four questions worth putting to your board, and where investment turns dependency into optionality, value the business can measure today, not only in a crisis.

This is the ground SUSE was built for. For thirty years we've delivered enterprise infrastructure on a fully open foundation, auditable by design, portable across any environment, and operated under European jurisdiction, the architecture that makes exit, audit and portability real rather than promised. Join us to see how leading organisations are taking sovereignty on their own terms, and leave with a concrete first step you can put to your board.

SUSE AI Factory: Simplify Deploying and Scaling Complex AI Workloads on Kubernetes
Mohammed Shabana in conjunction with NVIDIA

Running individual AI applications often forces teams to manually stitch together multiple open-source tools using fragmented Helm charts. This "do-it-yourself" approach means that teams spend excessive time on integration and maintenance rather than building AI value.

As AI environments grow more complex, moving away from manual and fragmented applications is critical. In this session, we will explore how SUSE AI Factory solves this challenge by using pre-validated, version-controlled blueprints to establish a standardized and reproducible pipeline that simplifies deploying and scaling complex AI workloads on Kubernetes clusters.

Practical Session: Navigating Your Transition to SUSE Virtualization
Hugo de Vries (SUSE) and Jeroen Vermeulen (Worldstream)

Thinking about switching hypervisors? Learn straight from the experts!
This session starts with an introduction to SUSE Virtualisation features, followed by an interactive Q&A with Jeroen Vermeulen, Lead Architect at Worldstream, a leading service provider that got faced the need to move from VMware. Get first-hand insights into their journey to production, Software Defined Networking needs, and actionable advice for your own infrastructure transition.

One Dashboard, Any Distro: Taming IT Complexity with SUSE Multi-Linux Manager
Jurriën Bloemen 

Are you struggling to maintain compliance and patching schedules across five different Linux distributions? You are not alone. The reality of enterprise IT is hybrid, multi-cloud, and definitively multi-Linux.

This technical presentation tackles the core challenges of managing a fragmented Linux ecosystem. We will unpack the Multi-Linux capabilities of SUSE Manager, showcasing how it acts as a universal control plane for SLES, RHEL, Ubuntu, CentOS clones, and more. We will cover the mechanics of its single-pane-of-glass approach, including lifecycle management, automated security auditing, and configuration enforcement.
By the end of this session, you will understand how to leverage SUSE Manager to dramatically reduce administrative overhead, ensure cross-distro security compliance, and confidently scale your infrastructure without being tied to a single vendor.

Sovereign by Design: Data Mobility Across Multi-Cloud, Air-Gapped and Virtualized Environments
Erik Zandboer - Portworx by Everpure

Data sovereignty is now a critical requirement for organizations running Kubernetes and cloud-native applications. But sovereignty is about more than where data is physically stored—it also requires maintaining control over data, infrastructure, and operations as applications move between clouds, data centers, and disconnected environments.

In this session, we’ll explore how Portworx by Everpure provides a consistent data management layer across Kubernetes environments, helping organizations build architectures that support sovereignty, portability, and resilience, even in fully air-gapped deployments.

We’ll look at practical scenarios including:

Moving workloads between cloud providers
Managing data within specific geographic or regulatory boundaries
Operating Kubernetes in disconnected environments
Recovering applications across clusters
We’ll also take a look at how these capabilities extend into SUSE Virtualization, where Portworx can provide persistent storage and data services management for virtual machines alongside containers.

In the end, you will learn how Portworx is able to eliminate lock-in while giving applications a consistent data layer wherever they need to run.
