The world of hybrid computing and multicloud is about to experience a major moment with the Nutanix .NEXT 2025 event, which will take place from May 7 to 9 in Washington DC.

This annual event is a must-attend platform for IT professionals, cloud experts, and technology enthusiasts.

With engaging sessions, innovative product demonstrations, and networking opportunities, Nutanix .NEXT 2025 promises to be an enriching experience. As a reminder, last year it was Barcelona’s turn to host the event!

Why attend .NEXT?

The Nutanix .NEXT event is much more than just a conference. It’s a unique opportunity to discover the latest advancements in hybrid cloud, artificial intelligence, and cloud-native applications. Attendees will have access to interactive sessions, hands-on labs, and free certifications. Topics include:

• AI and ML in the Enterprise: Discover how artificial intelligence and machine learning can transform your organization.

• Cloud-Native Applications: Learn how to manage VM-container convergence for modern applications.

• Security and Networking in the Modern Cloud: Explore Micro-Segmentation and Ransomware Protection Solutions

Event Highlights

The event will feature keynote addresses (including Rajiv Ramaswami), new feature demonstrations, and networking opportunities. Speakers will include renowned figures such as José Andrés (chef, restaurateur, and author) and Evy Poumpouras (former special agent and interrogator for the Secret Service, national security analyst), who will share their experiences and visions for the future of IT.

Additionally, attendees will be able to take advantage of the event to meet event partners such as OVHcloud and HYCU directly at their respective booths.
