The Citrix Technology Professional (CTP) and Citrix Technology Advocate (CTA) Programs consist of our elite technical champions within the ecosystem who openly contribute content, provide product feedback, and evangelize Citrix technologies. These are annual awards designed to reward members with exclusive benefits and opportunities while fostering an environment that also helps us produce the best possible products and technical community.
Applications are now open for both CTP and CTA Programs through December 31, 2024. Apply today to one (or both) programs, though you can only join one per calendar year! Candidates are selected based on their alignment to the charters of these respective programs and criteria including technical contributions, advocacy, selfless sharing, and a peer review process. New award recipients for both programs are targeted for announcement in March 2025.
Let’s take a look at each program in greater detail…
Citrix Technology Professional (CTP)
Per the mission statement on the CTP home page:
The Citrix Technology Professional (CTP) Program is an annual award in recognition of the significant technical contributions by individuals throughout the year in Citrix products and solutions. The wealth of knowledge they have developed and openly shared has proven invaluable to the Citrix technology community.
CTPs contribute in a variety of ways – from writing technical articles and blogs to presenting on webinars and providing insightful feedback to Product Management. Members have various backgrounds including consultants, architects, administrators, and network engineers. They consist of both partners and customers. Virtually any non-Citrix employee is welcome to apply. We encourage you to read the bios of current CTPs on our awardees page.

According to the CTA mission statement on the CTA home page:
The Citrix Technology Advocate (CTA) program is designed to reward Citrix enthusiasts with meaningful recognition for their ongoing community contributions, provide unique opportunities to connect with Citrix peers and internal stakeholders – resulting in enhanced career performance and satisfaction.
CTAs help spread the word about Citrix technologies and how they solve real-world business challenges. Many have a strong presence on social media and within local/regional tech circles. Similar to CTPs, these members come from varied backgrounds including consultants, architects, administrators, or network engineers. CTAs can have roles as partners, customers, or even Citrix employees who go above and beyond to evangelize. Take a moment to read the bios of current CTAs on our awardees page.
