VMware – VMworld 2019 – See you in San Francisco

Posted on by

This is a quick post to let my loyal readers know that I’ll be heading to VMware’s annual conference (VMworld) this year in San Francisco. This will be my fourth VMworld. I’m looking forward to catching up with some old friends and meeting some new ones. If you haven’t registered yet but feel like that’s something you might want to do – the registration page is here. To get a feel for what’s on offer, you can check out information about the VMworld 2019 sessions here. The Content Catalog [sic] is available now too, so if you’ve registered you can start filling up your schedule. You can also read the FAQ here.

Big thanks to Tej at VMware for organising the blogger pass. I’ll also be publicly thanking some other folks when I have some more logistics locked in. Keep an eye out for me at the conference and surrounding events and don’t be afraid to come and say hi (if you need a visual – I look like Wolverine would if he let himself go).

This is a quick post to let my loyal readers know that I’ll be heading to VMware’s annual conference (VMworld) this year in Las Vegas. This will be my third VMworld. I’m looking forward to catching up with some old friends and meeting some new ones. If you haven’t registered yet but feel like that’s something you might want to do – the registration page is here. To get a feel for what’s on offer, you can check out information about the VMworld 2017 sessions here. The Content Catalog [sic] will be on-line in mid-July. Yes, no, that’s just how they spell catalogue. You can read the FAQ here.

Big thanks to Corey at VMware for organising the blogger pass. I’ll also be publicly thanking some other folks when I have some more logistics locked in. Incidentally, if any companies want to chip in for my flights I’m sure I can arrange some kind of exposure in return – just let me know. Keep an eye out for me at the conference and surrounding events and don’t be afraid to come and say hi (if you need a visual – I look like Wolverine would if he let himself go).

This is a quick post to let you all know that I’ll be heading to Dell’s annual conference (now known as Dell EMC World) this year in Austin, TX. This will be my first Dell World and first time in Austin. I’m looking forward to catching up with some old friends and meeting some new ones. If you haven’t registered yet but feel like that’s something you might want to do – the registration page is here. To get a feel for what’s on offer, you can check out the agenda here. I’m excited to hear about how Dell EMC will be transforming and this will be their first public shot at putting on a show since the acquisition completed.

Massive thanks to Mark Browne at Dell EMC for organising the “influencer” pass via the EMC Elect programme. Keep an eye out for me at the conference and surrounding events and don’t be afraid to come and say hi (if you need a visual – I look like Wolverine would do if he let himself go).

VMware – VMworld 2014 – The Rookie’s Excited

Posted on by

I mentioned a little while ago that VMware had kindly provided me with a blogger’s pass to VMworld in San Francisco this year (the registration page is here). This will be my first VMworld, and while I’ve been to smaller events in Australia, I’m led to believe it’s a pretty big deal, with lots of people and lots of things to do. And I’m excited about it. Besides the fact that every time I see No Limits I think of that darned 2 Unlimited techno song from the 90s.

In any case, my hotel’s booked, I have flights sorted and I’ve found some comfortable shoes. I’ve been treating Christopher’s blog posts as my rule book for attendance – it’s a great guide for people attending for the first or umpteenth time. As I said in my previous post, I get to SF on Friday, and will be crashing in nearby Menlo Park for a few days before heading into SF on Sunday. If you’re in that neck of the woods and want to catch up – just drop me a line.

I’ve filled out most of my sessions at this stage, leaving myself a bit of time for networking and unexpected activities. If stalking me is the kind of thing you’re into, then you can download a current version in csv format here. If it changes dramatically I’ll upload it before I get on the plane over. As far as which sessions I’m excited about, well, I’m excited about them all. There’s a bunch of content being presented this year and it all looks pretty top notch. I found it difficult to choose between a number of sessions and often found myself wanting to sign up for everything that was on offer.

I’m also looking forward to catching up with people that I’ve only ever spoken to via twitter or e-mail, and I’m keen to check out some of the afterhours events and tweetups that are happening. I’m also keen to catch up with some of the EMC Elect who’ll be in attendance as well.

Finally, I’m stoked to have been given this opportunity by the VMware Community & Social Media team and hope that I can provide you with some interesting insight into what this event is all about. I look forward to posting some session reviews, product info, and obligatory blurry photos of people I bump into along the way. Thanks again for reading the blog. It’s been an emotional (!) journey so far and it’s gonna get a bit more so in the next few weeks ;)

VMware – VMworld 2014 – See you in SF

Posted on by

Just a quick post to let people know that I’ll be attending VMworld in San Francisco this year. The VMware Community & Social Media people were nice enough to give me a blogger pass to the event, and I’m covering my own flights and accommodation.

I’m quite excited as I’ve never been to one of these events before, and I’m looking forward to seeing it all in real life this year, rather than just hearing about it via second-hand sources.

So, I’m getting into SFO on Friday, and leaving the next Friday. I’m staying nearish to Moscone from Sunday, so if people are in the area and want to catch up, get in touch. If people have creative ways to help cover my expenses, let me know too. I’m totally willing to wear a t-shirt for a day if it means someone will help out with the cost of my hotel room. In any case, get ready for a shedload of conference posts :)
