HashiConf at IBM TechXchange 2026

HashiConf 2026 runs 26-29 October 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia, and for the first time it is staged inside IBM TechXchange rather than as a standalone HashiCorp event - the consequence of IBM's acquisition of HashiCorp, and the first time HashiConf has been held in Atlanta. HashiCorp describes it as a premier technical conference on the evolution of cloud infrastructure, automation and secure deployment, bringing together developers, security professionals and IT leaders to work through infrastructure and security lifecycles from hands-on labs up to strategic keynotes. Two named programme tracks anchor the agenda: Hybrid Cloud Management, aimed at platform engineers, SREs, DevOps teams and cloud architects building automated hybrid infrastructure, and Security & Governance, aimed at security engineers, developers and compliance teams dealing with data protection in AI agent environments. A single IBM TechXchange registration covers HashiConf; the wider conference also co-locates IDUG North America and the COMMON user group's NAViGATE programme for IBM i.

Anyone with Terraform Enterprise or Vault in production has an open question after the IBM acquisition - what happens to licensing, roadmap and support - and this is the first HashiConf where the people who can answer it are in the same building as their new IBM product owners. Platform leads get the Day 2 operations content that decides whether their existing IaC estate is maintainable at scale; security leads get the agent-identity material, which is the governance problem that surfaces the moment AI agents start holding credentials. The single-registration bundle across TechXchange, IDUG and COMMON means one trip covers infrastructure, database and IBM i stakeholders, and Atlanta keeps the travel cost well below the Las Vegas conferences running the same week.

• ✓Track: Hybrid Cloud Management, for platform engineers, SREs, DevOps teams and cloud architects building automated hybrid infrastructure
• ✓Track: Security & Governance, for security engineers, developers and compliance teams handling data protection in AI agent environments
• ✓Sessions on AI agent identity and governance using HashiCorp Vault and SPIFFE
• ✓Sessions on Terraform and Vault for Day 2 operations
• ✓Sessions on cloud cost optimisation through IT automation and FinOps
• ✓Hands-on labs and technical keynotes, plus certification testing across the wider TechXchange programme
• ✓Co-located IDUG North America and the COMMON NAViGATE hub for IBM i, both included in a single registration
• ✓Expo floor and networking events across the full four-day TechXchange conference

• ★The first HashiConf held inside IBM TechXchange, which is the clearest public signal yet of how HashiCorp's roadmap is being folded into IBM's automation and hybrid-cloud portfolio - directly material to anyone with Terraform or Vault renewals ahead
• ★One registration buys four co-located conferences: HashiConf, IBM TechXchange, IDUG North America and COMMON's NAViGATE IBM i programme
• ★The AI content is infrastructure-level rather than model-level - sessions on the identity crisis of AI agents, agent identity tracking and delegation using Vault and SPIFFE, which is the control-plane problem most enterprises hit second
• ★Two clearly separated audience tracks - Hybrid Cloud Management for platform teams, Security & Governance for security and compliance - rather than one undifferentiated agenda
• ★HashiConf's first Atlanta edition, and a materially cheaper city to fly a team into than the Bay Area or Las Vegas alternatives in the same month
