NetApp INSIGHT 2026
by NetApp
NetApp's annual technical conference for data infrastructure, hybrid cloud and AI workloads.
About This Event
NetApp INSIGHT 2026 is NetApp's annual technical conference for data infrastructure teams, running 29 September to 1 October 2026 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with badge pickup and the first certification testing window opening on Monday 28 September. The programme pairs executive keynotes with expert-led breakout sessions and hands-on labs across data infrastructure modernisation, hybrid and multicloud operations, cyber resilience and ransomware recovery, and AI and analytics workloads running on NetApp platforms. Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure are among the partners present. What separates INSIGHT from a vendor roadshow is the certification track: attendees can pre-register for two NetApp certification exams at no charge, delivered on-site by Pearson VUE in the Level 1 MGM Conference Center, with testing running from Monday afternoon through Thursday midday and seating allocated first come, first served.

Why Attend
For an infrastructure or platform leader, INSIGHT is where the storage and data layer under an AI programme gets decided. Three days buys direct access to the engineers behind NetApp's on-premises and cloud data services, alongside the AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure teams those services have to integrate with, in a single building. Attendees leave with concrete positions on hybrid-cloud data placement, ransomware recovery posture and how to keep GPU clusters fed without rebuilding the estate — and with up to two certifications for each engineer they bring, at no additional cost.

What Makes This Unique
- ★Two NetApp certification exams are included at no charge and delivered on-site by Pearson VUE — most vendor conferences either charge separately for testing or omit it entirely.
- ★All three hyperscalers — AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure — are present as partners, so hybrid-cloud data placement can be worked through with the actual providers in one venue.
- ★A technical rather than sales-led agenda: breakouts and hands-on labs are run by expert practitioners, aimed at infrastructure leaders, architects and engineers rather than a buying committee.
- ★Cyber resilience and ransomware recovery are a first-class strand of the programme, not an afterthought bolted onto a storage roadmap.
- ★Certification seating is limited and first come, first served, so the exam benefit materially rewards registering and scheduling early rather than deciding on arrival.
