At VMware Explore, we’ll build the new multi-cloud world. Together, we can make cloud work the way we need it to – with more options and less complexity, more choice and compromise. You’ll find the freedom to choose, the flexibility to adapt, and the autonomy to control your own destiny. Together, let’s chart our next odyssey.
VMworld is now VMware Explore, the center of the multi-cloud universe.
Hands-on Labs Expert-led Workshops at VMware Explore
We have 83 Expert-led workshops covering a variety of topics and solutions available during VMware Explore, these are held from 8/29/22 and continue through the show. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to access the live lab environment and engage with the subject matter experts that built the labs. Returning to in-person events means we get the added value of networking with our peers. We are excited to have many of our returning experts and some who are new to the program, all are keen to get back on the floor with you and talk through solutions and products released this year.
