Las Vegas, Nevada | The Venetian
August 21 – 24, 2023
During the last two weeks of May, VMware Explore 2023 asked the global citizens of Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram to vote for their preferred sessions to be included in the VMware Explore 2023 Las Vegas Content Catalog when it opens on June 6. We refer to this contest fondly as, “The People’s Choice Awards“. It took place entirely online and the polls closed on May 26, 2023.
The voting process was a competitive one, and there were many worthy candidates competing for the top spot. However, despite the diverse selection of submissions for each content track, only one victor could emerge among the rest. The reaction was overwhelming with a total of 1,265 responses, and we are excited to announce this year’s winners!
