VMware Explore US: How We’re Welcoming Back VMworld Alumni

Previous VMworld Alumni are transitioning to VMware Loyalists as part of the VMware Rewards program.

Previous VMworld Alumni will be welcomed to VMware Explore with an exclusive digital award as part of the VMware Rewards program, recognizing their event loyalty and gaining points to earn various prizes. Additionally, event loyalists will receive access to the Rewards Lounge and exclusive early access to The Party.

To our VMware event loyalists, we are thrilled to announce the evolution of the previous VMworld Alumni program as it is now a part of the VMware Rewards program.

You are all exclusively invited!  


Get Recognized for Your Historical Attendance

Claim your exclusive digital Event Loyalist Award for being a VMworld Alumni in VMware Rewards, only available this year. Then, as you come back year after year, you’ll Level-up through the program to earn attendance recognition and special prizes* thanks to your event loyalty. Simply Log in to your VMware Customer or Partner Connect account using one of the buttons below and activate your historical VMworld Alumni status in your VMware Rewards profile to receive the award. After logging in using one of the buttons below (either for Partners or Customers), you will be taken directly into the Rewards Program for activation. 

The Event Loyalist digital award will appear completed in the list of Awards and Levels, in “Other Awards” on your profile.

When You Get Onsite  

Visit the VMware Rewards space in The Hub (formally known as The Square/VMvillage) in Moscone South during the week of VMware Explore 2022 US. While you’re there, identify yourself as an “Alumni” with the VMware Rewards team to get your badged scanned and receive this year’s VMware Explore Attendance Award. Before you leave the space, be sure to stop by the Rewards Lounge and kickback for a while.

The VMware Rewards team will also present you with an exclusive event pin that grants 6:00 PM early access to The Party on Wednesday, Aug. 31, from 7:00 – 10:00 PM at the Chase Center.  


For Early Access to The Party 

Display your event pin on your badge lanyard for the shuttles from Moscone South to the Chase Center and then again upon arrival when getting your badged scanned to access The Party for first dibs on beverages and activations.  

Join us at The Party as we discover the Best of the Bay – local artists, local eats, local sounds, and more. 

We are excited to welcome you all back this year at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, CA from August 29 – September 1, and at the Gran Fira in Barcelona, Spain from 7 – 10 November 2022. More details on the Europe event experience to come.  

Thank you all for being VMware enthusiasts!  

All the best,
