Solution Days - Toronto 2026:
October 20 - 21, 2026 | St. Regis Toronto

Why attend?

We're back at the premier St. Regis Toronto, and this year, we're putting you directly in the driver's seat.

Join F5 for two days of hands-on learning and practical discussions on AI, application security, APIs, and infrastructure modernization. 

Keynotes focused on gaining practical insights and real-world trends. Leading F5 experts share strategy on AI security, APIs, application delivery, and post-quantum readiness. Choose between technical labs and architecture-focused sessions, hear from industry experts, and connect with peers facing similar challenges. We'll wrap up Day 1 with our live capture-the-flag competition, networking reception, and prizes. 

Solution Days 2026 delivers the real-world strategies, technical depth, and actionable blueprints you need to stay ahead. 

Focus areas

Build and defend AI Apps

Defend the modern storefront

Quantum-ready cryptography

Automate everywhere

Hands-on policy creation using F5 AI Guardrails and automated AI Red Team exploits.

Expose shadow APIs, stop malicious bots, and protect critical checkout flows with F5 Distributed Cloud.

Modernize legacy encryption protocols with crypto-agile architectures and hybrid quantum-resistant ciphers.

Master declarative API deployments, GitOps pipelines, and multi-cloud orchestration across public, private, and hybrid environments.

Choose your own adventure: Dual tracks

Track 1: The hands-on labs track 

  • F5 AI Guardrails & AI Red Team tooling to secure inference pipelines and prevent prompt manipulation. 
  • F5 Distributed Cloud (XC) WAAP and advanced API security to discover shadow endpoints and defend modern app architectures. 
  • NGINX Gateway Fabric for enterprise Kubernetes connectivity, ingress security, and ultra-low latency routing. 

 

Track 2: The architectural and strategy track 

  • Architecture blueprints for the enterprise AI App Factory. 
  • Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), hybrid ciphers, and crypto-agility frameworks. 
  • Multi-cloud policy consistency, hybrid mesh networking, and automated lifecycle governance. 
  • Automation strategies that simplify infrastructure configuration across public, private, and hybrid environments.

Live capture the flag competition!

Wrap up Day 1 with our interactive Capture the Flag (CTF) competition. Put your skills to the test, tackle real-world security challenges, and compete for prizes while networking with peers and F5 experts.

Please note: CTF participation requires separate pre-registration, and space is limited.

What to expect: 

  • Defend the modern app: Investigate rogue bot traffic, detect hidden API endpoints, and mitigate Layer 7 volumetric surges in real time. 
  • Tame the AI frontier: Test your skills against next-gen threat vectors—hunt down prompt injection attacks, prevent model jailbreaks, and lock down LLM inference pipelines with AI Guardrails. 
  • Capture flags, score points: Every exploit neutralized and puzzle solved reveals a secret flag. Watch your score climb on the giant ballroom leaderboard. 
  • Live Leaderboard & Prizes: See how you rank and compete for prizes. 
  • Arcade & Networking Lounge: Enjoy food, drinks, arcade games, and time to connect with fellow attendees.
