Every year, the Nutanix Technology Champions (NTC) program recognizes and celebrates the most passionate, knowledgeable, and engaged members of our global community. These are the voices who share insights, answer questions, lead conversations, and push technology (and each other!) forward.

And guess what? Your chance to join the next class of Champions is almost here.

Applications for the 2026 NTC program open October 1, 2025.

Whether you’re a long-time community contributor or just finding your voice, this is your opportunity to step into the spotlight and help shape the future of the Nutanix ecosystem.

Why Apply?

Being an NTC isn’t just about a badge next to your name (although it’s a pretty great badge). It’s about becoming part of an elite group of advocates and experts who:

• Lead the conversation: Share your knowledge, create content, and inspire others.

• Expand your network: Connect with Nutanix engineers, product teams, and Champions from across the globe.

• Get exclusive access: Be among the first to learn about new features, product roadmaps, and opportunities to provide feedback.

• Elevate your career: The NTC title sets you apart as a trusted voice in the industry.

Most importantly, you’ll help strengthen a vibrant community that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and the belief that we go further together.

Key Dates You Need to Know

• October 2025 — Applications open! Share your story, your contributions, and why you want to be a Champion.

• November 2025 — We’ll review all submissions carefully. This isn’t just a checkbox exercise — every application is read and considered by our program team.

• December 2025 — The new 2026 Nutanix Technology Champions will be announced. (Pro tip: keep an eye on the community blog and our social channels — you’ll want to be the first to congratulate your peers.)

Who Should Apply?

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re already a great fit. NTCs are bloggers, speakers, podcasters, user group leaders, forum helpers, code contributors, and behind-the-scenes connectors. They’re people who believe in lifting others up and making technology approachable and exciting.

You don’t need to have “all the answers” — just a track record of curiosity, a willingness to share, and a passion for helping others succeed.

Ready to Take the Next Step?

Circle October 1 on your calendar. Talk to your peers. Think about the ways you’ve contributed, and where you want to grow next year. When the application link goes live, we want to hear from you.

This is your chance to join a program that isn’t just about recognition — it’s about belonging, leadership, and building the future of cloud together.

The Nutanix community is strong because of people like you. Now’s the time to make it official.
