The curtains have closed on another incredible year at VMworld Las Vegas, our premiere digital infrastructure event. This year’s VMworld marked birthdays old and new with the 20th anniversary of VMware, and the 1st anniversary of VMware Cloud on AWS – and we put on a first-rate show to mark the occasions.

From August 26-30, the event included brand new interactive experiences like Cloud City, plus scores of announcements on new products and new capabilities designed to help enterprises shape their ideal infrastructure and innovate faster than ever before.

Through keynotes, product demos and networking with the best and brightest in the world of disruptive tech, attendees discovered the trends and talent shaping the future of cutting-edge digital infrastructure. Across core technologies like cloud, mobile, networking, and security – to emerging areas like IoT, AI, machine learning and edge computing – no stone was left unturned at VMworld 2018.
