.NEXT 2024: The Year of Hybrid Multicloud

Maybe this was finally your year to “go cloud.” Or maybe you took your deployment to a whole new level. Either way, .NEXT 2024 in Barcelona was your go-to global event for information, communication, and of course, inspiration.

Learning

Hybrid multicloud has quickly matured from a promising, bleeding-edge platform to everyone’s best-of-breed unified operating model for modern apps and their data. At .NEXT 2024, we showed you every possible way to make the most of it.

Connections

Peers, experts, and partners from all over the world came to share, give (or take) advice, and make the most of Barcelona’s sunny days and warm, starry nights. Breakfast receptions, cocktail hours, and memorable evening activities were all on the agenda.

Hands-On Experiences

At .NEXT 2024, you took the wheel with live expert training, demos, and more. You explored new products and features from Nutanix and our partners—or studied up and received free certification.

Hybrid Multicloud—and Beyond

At .NEXT 2024 you joined thousands of your business and tech peers from around the world, along with experts in cloud-related fields and yes, even celebrities. Here’s what you discovered as you explored, trained, and networked amid the historic atmosphere of Barcelona.

How to make the cloud do more.

Topics included building resilient containerized apps and running them alongside legacy apps and data, stripping down complexity while adding new sustainability, flexibility, and control, and radically simplifying gen AI adoption, chatbot updates, and privacy management.

How to become an expert, fast.

You checked out new releases from basic to advanced, including Nutanix Cloud Platform, Cloud Infrastructure (NCI), Cloud Manager (NCM), and more. Then you took prep courses right at the show, aced your exam (we hope), and got certified on-site—free.

How to have world-class fun.

You indulged in traditional gourmet Spanish-inspired tapas, chatted about cloud developments and use case strategies with experts and peers from around the world, and took in .NEXT’s usual share of the unusual—including luxurious surprises and memorable experiences.

How to take on new perspectives.

Our celebrity keynote speakers this year included Sebastian Vettel, four-time Formula 1 race champ and renowned climate change activist; tech visionary Dr. Anne-Marie Imafidon MBE, youngest person ever to graduate with a Master’s degree and co-founder/CEO of Stemettes; and Cristina Criddle, newsbreaking tech correspondent for the Financial Times.
