As the workplace has expanded beyond the office to homes, coffee shops, and beyond, our community of technical professionals is challenged with making resources accessible from any physical location and device while balancing demands for convenience, simplicity, usability, and, of course, security.

On behalf of my new organization here at Citrix, I’d like to invite all of you working on tackling these challenges to join us for Citrix Converge 2021, the premiere global developer conference for Citrix partners and customers, presented online and at no cost from October 26-28, 2021.

We’re busy preparing three days of tutorials and sessions catering to every variety of hands-on technical professional, including:

  • Coders, integrating with Citrix Cloud service APIs using programming languages such as Java or C#.
  • Scripters, automating tasks with PowerShell or Python, or implementing DevOps with tools like Terraform and Ansible.
  • Builders, delivering solutions using low-code and no code tools including Citrix Workspace with intelligence and Citrix Podio.

A team of experts drawn from Citrix and its wider community of administrators, architects, and developers, will present the latest APIs, tools, and techniques across three technology tracks, with additional sessions focusing on business topics, and a full day of training.

Register now, or read on for more details.

Virtual Apps & Desktops

Delivery of virtual applications and desktops is quickly evolving as enterprises move towards a hybrid multi-cloud strategy in support of changing business demands. As desktop-as-a-service meets virtual desktop infrastructure, architects and admins can now choose from a wide range of deployment options spanning on-premises data centers and multiple public clouds.

The Virtual Apps & Desktops track features technology and tools to help every technical professional navigate this journey. No matter how far you’ve progressed along the road to the hybrid multi-cloud future, you’ll learn how techniques such as automation and infrastructure-as-code make your life easier and allow you to deliver more secure, reliable systems to end users.

Application Delivery & Security

Networking professionals are increasingly tasked with providing secure, performant, and reliable networking for both existing and new cloud-native applications that span public, private and hybrid clouds.

The App Delivery & Security track focuses on automating application delivery quickly and securely, no matter the location of the application or end-user. Developers, DevOps, and network admins will learn how to leverage tools such as Ansible, Terraform and Kubernetes with products and services such as Citrix ADC, Citrix Secure Internet Access, and Citrix SD-WAN.

Work Solutions

Employees are now distributed as never before, working more flexible hours, and coming together in ad-hoc teams for the duration of a project. This new way of working demands new tools that promote dynamic collaboration while securing work products.

The Work Solutions track brings together Citrix’ workplace products and technologies: Citrix Workspace microapps, Wrike, Podio, RightSignature, and ShareFile. Application builders will not only learn the secrets to getting the most out of each product, but also how to combine them into solutions targeting a wide variety of real-world use cases. The emphasis in this track is on delivering value to customers while writing little or no code.

The Business of Developing with Citrix Technology

“Day zero” of the conference, Monday October 25, will allow distributors, ISVs, SIs, solution advisers, service providers, and the Citrix staff focused on their success to come together and focus on the business side of developing with Citrix technology. Citrix partners will share their best practices for delivering business value to customers, and our partner teams will guide you through the many routes to succeeding with Citrix partner programs.

Pre-Conference Hands-on Training

Also on Monday October 25, we are assembling a full day of workshops and tutorials to give you hands-on experience with the technologies featured in the main conference agenda. Many of these have yet to be announced, so we can’t share too many details right now. We can say, however, that our team will engage and educate every technical professional working with Citrix technology.
