Citrix Field Kickoff 2021 will bring the excitement of Citrix to living rooms, kitchens, and offices around the world over the course of six days — January 12-14 and 19-21, 2021. The main focus of this free, virtual event is education and training, but 2020 left many of us craving human interaction, which is why we filled the agenda with creative opportunities to have fun together while physically distancing.
Here are five ways you can connect with the Citrix community during Field Kickoff:
1) Game On
Starting Tuesday, January 12, compete in the Field Kickoff Game. Earn points — and a path to prizes — by completing various actions throughout Field Kickoff.
The top three players, measured by points, will win:
- First place: Sonos Beam — Smart TV Sound Bar with Amazon Alexa
- Second place: Nintendo Switch Lite
- Third place: Set of four YETI Rambler mugs
Everyone attending Field Kickoff is automatically a contestant. Cheer on your peers and track your progress on the public leaderboard through Thursday, January 21, 2:15 p.m. (EST). Winners will be announced by pop-up notification and contacted via email.
2) Mix In
The Culinary/Mixology Experience is a coveted chance to learn tips and tricks from top-rated chefs and mixologists around the globe. On-demand sessions begin Thursday, January 14. Don’t miss your chance to cook and mix alongside these food and beverage pros:

3) Get Social
We want to celebrate all the ways Citrix innovates beyond the office, with a dose of virtual togetherness and healthy competition. Participate in the Space to Succeed contest by completing activities and posting a photo on Twitter, LinkedIn, or both platforms telling us how you drive innovation when Citrix gives you the space and freedom you need.
Use the hashtag #CitrixFieldKickoff for entry into daily and grand prize drawings. Post between Tuesday, January 12, 11:00 a.m. (SGT), and Thursday, January 21, 3:15 p.m. (EST), for your chance to win.
