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 17 to June 27, you get to vote on 33 sessions across four content tracks. The winners will be revealed as of July 2, and will be invited to present on stage at VMware Explore 2025 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: | Voting Category 1: Meet the Expert Roundtable Sessions | Voting Category 2: Breakout, Panel, or Tutorials Sessions | Votes per Track Category: |
| Cloud Infrastructure | 4 nominees | 5 nominees | 1 vote in each |
| Networking, Security, & Load Balancing | 3 nominees | 4 nominees | 1 vote in each |
| Modern Applications | 4 nominees | 5 nominees | 1 vote in each |
| Innovation | 3 nominees | 5 nominees | 1 vote in each |
- Pick one session per category per track → total = you place up to 8 votes
- Winners = the top voted session in each category → 8 winning sessions total
- Voting ends on June 27 at 5:00 PM PT—no late votes!
- Winners will be announced July 2 and added to the VMware Explore 2025 Content Catalog
Why it Matters
- These sessions carry high value and impact—but just missed stage time
- You’re championing real ideas, speakers, and solutions
- Winners gain full visibility in the official content catalog and get a live slot for their presentations at the event
