VMworld Europe – Update

Well I did not have much time for x-mas shopping yet, as we are working very hard on the first VMworld Europe event. In 2 months time we will be opening our doors to 4.000 people and that is a big and fun challenge. In the last 2 weeks we have selected a great attendee package, with a really nice custom made polo, we have very nice bags custom made in VMware style and after 2 very long food tasting sessions we have selected an awesome caterer for the event, so likely if you will come to Cannes, you will gain some weight as I can say the food was truly fantastic.

VMworld Europe is not just about VMware, but the entire virtualization industry will be present. At this moment we have 69 other companies joining us to present their solutions in the virtualization space, including partners from VMware, but the competition will be present as well, making VMworld really an industry virtualization event.

To get your hands ‘dirty’ at the event we are designing some good hands-on labs, including on some new topics like PowerShell for the VI3 SDK and Update Manager. We are still trying to figure out if we can run a SRM (Site Recovery Manager) lab, but it would require an insane amount of ESX servers, so we are trying to figure out how we can solve that.

Well I am really looking forward to February 26th, first that would mean all the hard work is done But mainly to actually attend the event myself and enjoy all the great sessions and talk to all the vendors in this cool industry. If you are thinking about attending, keep in mind the early bird registration ends December 31st, but if you are a VCP, you will always get a even better discounted price.

See you all in Cannes
