YoutubeCome Visit VMware Fusion at Macworld
Macworld’s just around the corner, and the VMware Fusion team is going to be there demoing our hearts out, talking to users, and doing our best to engage with the Mac faithful.
Come Say Hi!
Firstly, location. We’ll be located in Booth 2202 in Moscone South. This is the hall where Apple is located, and we’re on the right as you enter the hall. Just turn right as you enter, and look for the big VMware banners hanging from the ceiling…
Or, just look at this map:
What We’ll Be Up To
We’ll be demoing VMware Fusion 2 on five demo stations, handing out “My Mac Loves VMware” laptop and bumper stickers, and doing presentations in our theater.
Even better, we’ll have some special guests in our theater. Every day at 2PM, Joe Kissell from Take Control Publishing, will be presenting tips and tricks from his awesome book “Take Control of VMware Fusion 2”, the quintessential power user’s guide to VMware Fusion 2.
So if you would like to come say hi, whether you’re a curious would-be user, a current customer, press, partner, or so on, our booth is the place to be. We’ll have something for everyone.
RSVP Pretty Please
If you’re planning on coming by our booth, do us a favor and drop us a note in the comments, or RSVP for our Facebook event.
Also, if you’re in town on Monday night, we’ll be sponsoring a user meetup at The Thirsty Bear restaurant, providing some good company and some tasty appetizers for Friends of Fusion before the show starts.
Again, please RSVP so we know how many people to expect!
We’ll see you in San Francisco!
I'm sick and tired of people using Facebook for this stuff. There's a TON of other options. Upcoming.org is real popular among the web 2.0 crowd, and only requires a Yahoo login, not an entire social networking profile nor agreeing to Facebook's invasive TOS. There's pingg.com which looks good and is being used by Griffin for their MacWorld tweetup.
http://evitealternatives.com/ has a ton.
But you could at least use Upcoming. I don't use Facebook, I don't like Facebook, and I know I'm not the only non-failbooker.
Does my rant matter? Probably not. I'm not even going to Macworld. It's not unreasonable to assume everyone who goes there is probably on Facebook. But I felt like saying it.

@Tom There are lots of invite solutions out there, but we happen to have a VMware Fusion facebook page, with ~2k or so "fans", and as such, Facebook Event functionality has extra value for our users.
I'm sorry you don't like that, but we have to focus on what is good for the broader user base, and what helps us quickly spread the word.
We hope you can make it out to Macworld and visit us!
