ONE Summit Japan to be held on December 10-11, 2026 at Toranomon Hills Forum
The Open Networking & Edge Summit (ONE Summit), which has been leading thought leadership for over 10 years, will be held in Tokyo on December 10-11. It will be co-located with Open Source Summit Japan, bringing together the global open source ecosystem.
Focusing on the integration of AI-driven automation, 6G, open source RAN, and edge AI into modern networks, this event will be a significant milestone symbolizing the transition to AI-native infrastructure.
Registration and sponsorship applications are now open. This provides an opportunity for companies to directly interact with leaders in the networking, edge, cloud, and AI infrastructure sectors.
San Francisco, April 30, 2026 — LF Networking, which promotes collaboration and operational excellence in open source networking projects, announced that the Open Networking & Edge Summit (ONE Summit) will be held in Tokyo on December 10-11, 2026. Co-located with Open Source Summit Japan, this event will bring together the global open source community to explore the next wave of innovation in networking, edge, cloud, and AI-driven infrastructure.
For over a decade, ONE Summit has served as the premier forum for technology and business leaders to collaborate in a neutral and open environment. As industry transformation rapidly accelerates with Kubernetes, AI, and APIs, networks are becoming increasingly disaggregated, automated, and dynamically scalable. ONE Summit 2026 will bring together Communications Service Providers (CSPs), cloud providers, enterprises, and a wide range of ecosystem stakeholders for a carefully curated two-day program. Participants will explore how these innovations are reshaping network design, operations, and business models, while also exchanging practical insights to drive scalable, secure, and intelligent infrastructure.
Arpit Joshipura, General Manager, Networking, Edge & IoT at the Linux Foundation, stated:
"AI and open networking are no longer separate discussions, but are at a critical juncture where they form a single, integrated roadmap for the future. ONE Summit 2026 provides the ecosystem with a collaborative platform to integrate AI-native capabilities into the core of global networks, serving as the birthplace of these innovations."
This time, the focus will be on key areas such as open / AI-native networking, 6G, open source RAN, edge AI, data utilization at the edge, government, and critical infrastructure. Through keynotes, technical sessions, and collaborative discussions, participants will gain insights into how the open source ecosystem is enabling digital transformation and Industry 4.0 across core, access, and edge environments.
