News, licence changes and real-world operational experience
Do you use Citrix? Or are you just considering it? In both cases, 2026 is a year to take note, because Citrix is changing. New features, changes to licensing, XenServer 9 and new use cases are on the horizon. For existing users, this means they’ll need to get to grips with what’s changing and how it will affect their environment. For those who are only just considering Citrix, it’s an opportunity to find out what the platform is actually capable of today and where it might be a sensible choice.
At the ORBIT Citrix Experience Day 2026, we will therefore be doing more than just providing an overview of the latest developments. We will look at Citrix primarily from the perspective of real-world usage, security, licensing and operational experience.
