You Choose the Winning Sessions!
Year over year, the People’s Choice Awards gives the spotlight to sessions that deserve it—and this year, you’re the jury once again. From June 23 to July 10, you get to vote on 15 sessions across four content tracks. The winners will be revealed as of July 21, and will be invited to present on stage at VMware Explore 2026 in Las Vegas. You may only vote once in each category, but your passion will help shape the event agenda!
There’s a new approach for this year. Here’s how it breaks down:
| Session Track: | # of Breakout Sessions: | Votes per Track Category: |
| Cloud Infrastructure | 4 nominees | 1 vote in each |
| App Modernization | 4 nominees | 1 vote in each |
| Security | 4 nominees | 1 vote in each |
| Innovation | 3 nominees | 1 vote in each |
- Pick one session per category per track → total = you place up to 4 votes
- Sessions were nominated by Content Track Leads → each had a max of 4 sessions per category
- Winners = the top voted session in each category → 4 winning sessions total
- Voting ends on July 10 at 5:00 PM PDT—no late votes!
- Winners will be announced July 21 and added to the VMware Explore 2026 Content Catalog
