The Linux Foundation and OPAQUE have announced the schedule for Confidential Computing Summit 2026, which will focus on confidential computing and AI sovereignty.
The event in San Francisco will bring together enterprise executives, engineers and policymakers to discuss how confidential computing is being used to manage sensitive AI workloads across cloud and distributed systems. The programme includes keynotes and workshops on agent security, intellectual property protection, verifiable environments, infrastructure from cloud to edge, and data collaboration.
The summit comes as companies face growing pressure to process sensitive data in AI systems without breaching privacy, governance or security requirements. The Linux Foundation cited IDC research showing that 75% of organisations are adopting confidential computing, with 88% of respondents naming improved data integrity as the main driver.
Keynote speakers include executives and researchers from AMD, Google, Microsoft, the Technology Innovation Institute, UC Berkeley and OPAQUE. The wider agenda also features participants from Amazon, Meta, NVIDIA, Samsung Electronics, DigiCert and LY Corporation.
Confidential computing has come into sharper focus as businesses move from AI trials to broader deployment. The approach is designed to protect data while it is being processed, not just when it is stored or transferred. That has become more relevant as AI systems increasingly rely on regulated or proprietary information.
Jim Zemlin, Chief Executive Officer of the Linux Foundation, linked that shift to concerns over sovereignty and operational risk.
“As organizations move into full-scale AI deployment, there is a critical need to prioritize data sovereignty and risk mitigation,” said Zemlin, Chief Executive Officer of the Linux Foundation.
He said the event reflects the work of the wider open-source and standards community on privacy and security in AI systems.
