It has been a year since I first applied to join the exclusive Nutanix Technology Champion program. After my application was deemed admissible, I had the immense privilege of being included in the very select group of NTC 2024 by Angelo Luciani, the NTC program manager at Nutanix.

This year, I was able to meet incredible professionals from the sector with whom I was able to discuss Nutanix and the world of infrastructure in general. I was invited to exclusive online sessions reserved for members of the NTC program but especially to .NEXT in Barcelona during which we were able to benefit from privileged access (front row seats at the conferences, meeting with Rajiv Ramaswami (the president and CEO of Nutanix) or Sebastian Vettel (one of the personalities invited to the event), dedicated space…).

As is the case every year, registration is open again for the 2025 Nutanix Technology Champion class.

Introducing the NTC Program

This program recognizes Nutanix hybrid multicloud experts for their continued external contributions to the community and industry. Our Nutanix Technology Champions are our technology advocates and ambassadors, influencing change with practical advice and bold ideas.

The NTC program provides unique opportunities for individuals to enhance their knowledge, build their brand, and help shape the future of hybrid multicloud.

Program members receive the following benefits:

• Early access information on Nutanix products and announcements.
• Private beta testing and insight into product development are available.
• Participation in exclusive meetings with engineering teams.
• Access to discussions with internal teams on the Nutanix NTC Slack channel.
• Unique activities at our annual .NEXT conference include pre-show briefings.
• Career development and guidance for those aiming for NCP, NCM, and NCX.

To be considered for the program, candidates must complete and submit the online NTC application form.

The following criteria will be considered:

• Blogging, podcasting, YouTube videos, and being active on social media.
• A desire to contribute to the IT community.

The activity is held externally for others to see and learn from, as the NTC program is a community-driven program.
