The Expo was bustling with energy today following the lively Expo Bash last night where attendees used the mobile app to navigate the floor, and sampled treats like bacon-wrapped short ribs and cheesy kettle chips while engaging with sponsors and exhibitors. Drink options ranged from refreshing token drafts, to orange mule mocktails and aperol spritzes. Whether you tested your swing at Dell’s golf simulator or sat in on a sponsor demo, the vibe was electric with interaction and engagement throughout the evening.

The VMware Odyssey final tournament kicked off at 2:00 PM in the Hands-on Labs room on Level 2 in the back of The Hub. Attendees came out to support the top 8 finalists who ranked highest on the Hands-on Labs Leaderboard from Monday and Tuesday. Those with the highest scores made it into the final tournament where they competed with the best, showed off their skills, and won ultimate bragging rights as well as commemorative prizes. Congratulations to all the winners! For more details on the tournament click here.

Day 3 has wrapped up, but there’s still more time to explore The Expo or attend a few breakout sessions on tomorrow’s final day before heading home. Visit The Hub to check out any areas you may have missed or hit up one last round at the pinball machines. Our Certification Exam Center will remain open for anyone looking to squeeze in a last-minute exam and up level their skill set. As always, our session replays are available in the VMware Explore Video Library so you can watch anything you might have missed, on-demand.
We’re nearing the finish line, but Thursday’s half-day still promises to be engaging and fun. Get some rest and join us here tomorrow as we wrap up VMware Explore 2024 in Las Vegas.
