The VMware Explore on Tour community has made waves across the globe in 2025, and this year’s stops proved just how powerful connection and hands-on learning can be.
From technical deep dives on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 9.0 to real-world insights, each stop brought VMware innovation directly to IT practitioners and Broadcom customers around the world.
Mumbai
Mumbai reached maximum capacity and kicked off the Explore on Tour journey with a vibrant day of VCF technical learning, collaboration, and community connection. Sessions were packed, Hands-on Labs stayed busy, and the atmosphere reflected the excitement and presence of the Broadcom ecosystem across APJ.
London
In London, the momentum continued with another sold out event with a strong turnout of IT practitioners eager to level up their VCF 9 practical skills and connect. From Hands-on Labs to certifications, the event delivered two busy days filled with learning, collaboration, partner programming, and the unmistakable spirit of the Explore community in EMEA, complemented by the UK VMUG UserCon.
Paris
Paris also delivered a full day of innovation and interaction, drawing IT practitioners to a packed plenary with standing-room only and consistently full breakout sessions. The Hub was a hive of activity—sponsors, demos, and community engagement—all accompanied by the nearby Hands-on Labs and certification exams featuring VCF 9.0. The Paris event was also fully booked to capacity, thus rounding out another successful stop on the global tour.
Sydney
In Sydney, the Explore on Tour momentum kept up with yet another sold-out event that drew an engaged practitioner community eager to learn more about VCF 9 and connect. Attendees filled sessions, earned certifications, and dove into Hands-on Labs alongside VMware software experts and peers. The feedback was resoundingly positive, celebrating both the smooth event experience and the strong sense of community throughout the day.
Tokyo
Tokyo marked a fitting finale for this year’s Explore on Tour APJ events, where an invitation-only group of Broadcom customers and partners came together for a concentrated day of learning, networking with peers, and hands-on exploration. Designed for a targeted audience, the event reached full capacity and delivered the same technical depth, connection, and inspiration that have defined this year’s global tour including Hands-on Labs and expert-led sessions featuring VCF 9.
Frankfurt
In Frankfurt, Explore on Tour unfolded over two packed days of learning, connection, and innovation. The sold-out event featured everything practitioners love about Explore including: Hands-on Labs, VCF 9 certifications, expert-led sessions, and an evening networking reception. The Frankfurt event also hosted unique programs like a Sovereign Cloud Day. The result: an energizing mix of technical insight and community engagement added to the last EMEA stop on this year’s tour.
Each sold out stop in 2025 delivered on what Explore is known for: hands-on learning, direct access to VMware software experts, and a strong sense of community. Attendees left energized, connected, and ready to bring new technical insights back to their teams.
If Mumbai, London, Paris, Sydney, Tokyo, and Frankfurt are any sign of what’s ahead, future Explore on Tour events promise to deliver fresh insights, practical training, and the community connection that defines VMware Explore.
Six stops down in 2025 and the future of next year is in sight. Explore is delivering knowledge, skills, and connections one city at a time.
Stay tuned, prepare to get inspired, dive deep, and find your people.
