vForum Beijing (Nov 21st – Nov 22nd, 2019)
Our final stop of vForum APAC (Asia Pacific) 2019 was Beijing. The event started on November 20th with a soft launch online for users to test their skills and take the vSphere Odyssey lab.
The in-person event was on November 22nd jammed packed with excitement and momentum. The Bejing local team organized two separate standalone tournaments focused on vSphere and vSAN content. Recruiting a total 56 customer and partners forming a total of 28 teams, 14 teams for each tournament. Making it the biggest number of team formations to date, compared to 24 at VMworld US and Barcelona.
The event kick-off in the morning with the vSphere tournament and in the afternoon the vSAN tournament began. The competition was fierce with multiple teams finishing seconds away and finally finishing with a record win!
Congratulation to team 野狼队 (Wild Wolf) for winning the vSphere tournament and to the team 及时雨 (Timely Rain) for winning the vSAN tournament and setting a new record of 7:23, 0:44 faster than VMworld Barcelona.
