Citrix is headed to Microsoft Ignite 2025 as a Partner of the Year Finalist, top sponsor, and more!

Microsoft Ignite is headed to San Francisco, CA on November 18-20, and Citrix is showing up in a big way. 

Proud to be a 2025 Microsoft Partner of the Year Finalist

This year’s event is special for a number of reasons, but the biggest for us has to be the fact that we have been selected as a 2025 Microsoft Partner of the Year Finalist. We often say we’re better together with Microsoft, and the fact that our longstanding partnership continues to strengthen as we grow alongside one another is the proof. We are proud to be recognized by our friends at Microsoft in this way!

“We’re honored to be recognized as a Microsoft Partner of the Year finalist — a reflection of our deep, long-standing partnership and shared commitment to helping customers succeed. Citrix and Microsoft continue to innovate together to empower secure, flexible work, and we’re excited to showcase the next chapter of that collaboration at Microsoft Ignite.” — Hector Lima, Co-President, Citrix

See us there, in more ways than one

Our longstanding, strategic partnership with Microsoft has always been about innovation and “igniting possibilities.” We’re excited to showcase what we’ve been working on together at Microsoft Ignite this year.

If you’re attending, or even if you’re just local to the area, you’ll see Citrix show up at the airport, in your Lyft ride, at local restaurants, and especially, of course, at the event itself. Keep your eyes out!

Join us for our two sessions

You’ll have two opportunities to hear from Citrix experts on a big stage, and we hope you’ll join us live or online.

Session 1: Develop your enterprise playbook to prepare for the AI of tomorrow – This on-site and live-streaming session takes place on Wednesday, November 19 at 2:45 pm PT and will be presented by Citrix Futurist Brian Madden and Microsoft Futurist Marco Casalaina. It will explore how AI transforms work by operating existing apps alongside humans. Brian will share the 7-stage progression from today’s shadow AI to tomorrow’s agent orchestration; he’ll also dive into what changes you will experience when AI uses your interfaces and how to prepare now without blocking innovation.

Session 2: Unlock the power of Azure with the Citrix platform multiplier – This session will take place live on Thursday, November 20 at 8:30 am PT and will be presented by Citrix SVP and GM, Citrix DaaS, Shawn Bass and features Citrix customer, VP of Technology, MSC, Quention Drion. (Check out a preview of their story here.) Shawn will dig into how you can truly get the most out of your investment with Azure and Windows 365. Looking at how you can optimize cloud costs and maximize the value of your Microsoft cloud environment, this session will demonstrate how the Citrix platform acts as a powerful multiplier, enhancing security and delivering a powerful user experience.
