For the last eight years, I’ve had the privilege of being a member of the Nutanix Technical Champions (NTC) Group. It’s been a journey filled with rich learning, collaboration, and being at the forefront of Nutanix’s innovations. The value this group brings, in terms of personal growth and deep dives into cutting-edge technology, has been tremendous.
One of the highlights has always been the camaraderie and access to exclusive events, including passes to the Nutanix .Next conference. However, this year, things are getting even more exciting! For the first time, Nutanix is bringing the NTC group directly to their headquarters in San Jose for a two-day, private session with the Nutanix teams.
Do you know the way to San Jose???
The upcoming Nutanix NTC Tech Summit, scheduled for October 21st and 22nd, promises to be an event unlike any other. This is an incredible opportunity for all of us in the NTC to network with fellow experts, collaborate closely with the Nutanix engineers, and immerse ourselves in deep learning sessions. Being invited to Nutanix HQ itself is a game-changer. It offers access to the latest product roadmaps, innovations, and technical strategies that will shape the future of hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures, something Nutanix, through the NTC program, has focused on ensuring is a priority – and I would be remiss not to mention the herculean efforts by one Angelo Luciani, who guides this program to amazing heights.
We’ll spend these two days diving deep into the Nutanix portfolio through intimate discussions with Nutanix’s brightest minds, learning, and some fun engagement with peers. The lineup is packed with sessions designed to sharpen our skills, broaden our knowledge, and help us be more impactful as Nutanix advocates – for me, this is where the rubber meets the road. This is where I can continue evangelizing and bringing value to my customers as a trusted advisor with a solution I trust. And, of course, the opportunity to network in person with fellow NTC members from across the globe is always a massive perk.
This year’s summit feels like the culmination of many years of collective learning and collaboration within the NTC program, and I can’t wait to see what insights and innovations we’ll take away from these two days. If the past eight years have taught me anything, it’s that Nutanix never stops pushing the boundaries of what’s possible—and being a part of that journey has been an absolute honor.
If you’re passionate about learning, growing, and working with top-notch professionals in the field, I highly recommend looking into the NTC program. Submissions are open right now, and trust me—in my 25-year IT career, it’s easily been the most valuable and enriching professional group I’ve ever belonged to! It’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss, and I’m excited for what’s to come!
