Following up on a very successful VMware Explore inaugural event in San Francisco last month, we are pleased to feature some of the key sessions to explore while in Barcelona for VMware Explore Europe. The VMware Explore content catalog is live, so this post serves to provide some guidance on the key sessions to attend while at VMware Explore US 2022.
Just like in San Francisco, the Hands-on-Labs sessions kickoff on Monday and Tuesday starts with the VMware Explore General Session. After the keynote, the Solution Keynotes and Breakouts double-click on VMware’s strategic transformation delivering innovations across multi-cloud environments. Here’s a closer look at some of the key sessions:
