Linux Day Italia 2026: LPI Partner; Discount, Talks

• Saturday, 24 October 2026
• Multiple venues across Italy

Linux Professional Institute (LPI) is proud to serve as Media Partner for Linux Day Italia 2026, the largest Italian event dedicated to free software, open culture, and sharing.

Organised since 2001 by the Italian Linux Society (ILS), Linux Day is a decentralised network of events held across Italy on the same day, each organised independently by local volunteer groups and communities. It brings together thousands of visitors every year: enthusiasts, developers, educators, students, and advocates of open source technology.

Attendance is always free and open to everyone.

20% Discount on LPI Certifications

Linux Day Italia 2026 participants receive a 20% discount on LPI certification exams. The discount can be requested between Saturday 31 October and Monday 2 November 2026, inclusive. Ask your local event organisers for details on how to claim it.

Each purchase produces a voucher valid for one year, to be used for one exam of the candidate’s choice.

What to Expect

Each local event sets its own programme. Across the country, Linux Day typically features:

• Talks and workshops
• Practical demonstrations and technical assistance
• Debates and community discussions
• Gadgets and the chance to meet the community in person

Find Your Local Event

Locations for the 2026 edition are announced from September on the official Linux Day website. If your area is not covered yet, the ILS encourages communities to organise their own event: the site provides a full guide for new organisers.

As Media Partner, LPI supports Linux Day Italia 2026 through dedicated online coverage and social media promotion across its global channels. This partnership reflects LPI’s long-standing relationship with the Italian free software community and its commitment to open source education across Europe.
