Apply for Nutanix Technology Champion (NTC) 2017

Yesterday, 2016-10-11, Nutanix opened the application for their Nutanix Technical Champion Program (NTC) for 2017. This will be the third year for this program and the NTC was actually opening the Nutanix .Next user conferance in Las Vegas in June 2016 which was pretty cool in my opinion. So if you’re a Nutanix expert that constantly contribute to the community you should apply via this link for NTC before 7:th November 2016.

The following are some of the criteria used by the panel members when they select the NTCs:

• Technical expertise in e.g. Nutanix and Enterprise Cloud Products including technical knowledge about:
  • Citrix
  • Dell
  • Docker
  • Microsoft
  • OpenStack

  • VMware
• Nutanix and Enterprise Cloud community contributions in social media including e.g. blogs, books, webinars, Next Community
• Nutanix and Enterprise Cloud education and support in the field
• User group and community event leadership

Of course there are benefits to be a NTC and some of them are:

• Access to discussions on the Nutanix NTC slack channel with internal teams
• Early access briefings about Nutanix products and announcements
• Exclusive guest blogging & speaking opportunities.
