Here are five great reasons to submit your proposal:

  1. Do it to become an expert: That’s right. You don’t have to be an expert to present on the subject. Tell us about a project you are passionately working on that is making a difference, solving a business problem, helping your team, your coworkers, your partners and your customers. Once your submission is accepted, take the time to build and polish your story, learn more and practice to perfection. The content team will connect you with presentation trainers who will help you hone those skills and craft your story. Remember every established expert in the field started with their first proposal.  
  1. Do it to build your brand: Do it for yourself, do it for your team, do it for your company. Just do it. Speaking at a conference will help you in building and maintaining a personal brand. This can help with future speaking gigs and career advancement opportunities. It maybe just that extra boost that your career needs to raise to the next level. Whether you want to impress your manager, your teammate, your social network, or you are doing it for yourself, speaking at a conference will help with your advancement, build your confidence, your credibility, and your professional network too. Wouldn’t it be great to have “VMware Explore 2023 Presenter” added to your list of accomplishments?  
  1. Do it for the heroes and heroines of your story: Having lived through the pandemic, every one of us has a story of facing challenges head-on including not only surviving but thriving by supporting one another and raising each other up. We live in interesting times and these make for the best stories. Give voice to the storyteller in you and shine the light on those who carried you through your dark times. Your peers want to hear your story, as it likely resonates with their experiences too. What business challenges did you or your customers overcome? How did you support and mentor others in challenging times? Who are your heroes and heroines and what did you learn from them?  
  1. Do it to expand your reach: Thousands of attendees joined us in person for VMware Explore 2022 events in US, Europe, and Asia and many more watched the presentations on-demand from across the globe. VMware Explore 2023 will be another monumental global event and by presenting, you will have the golden opportunity to reach out to your peers, your teammates and your clients. Reach out and connect to the world by speaking at VMware Explore.  
  1. Do it to grow your network: Submit a proposal to present at VMware Explore and discover all the ways that your specific message can connect with the people you want. By presenting at VMware Explore, you can make lasting connections that go beyond just exchanging business cards. We build our networks by gravitating towards those who share the same common interests and who face similar challenges. Exchanging ideas, questions, and continuing the conversation can establish lasting connections that further our personal and professional growth.
