The team has been hard at work creating the experiences you’ve missed and creating fresh, new experiences for you to engage with VMware products and solutions…
Expert-led Workshops
We have 86 opportunities for you to learn about VMware solutions from the experts who create the labs, our Expert-led Workshops are small sessions (40-50 seats) and 90 minutes jam-packed with product information and hands-on experience in a live environment.

Self-paced Labs
Of course, if you prefer to get hands-on at your own pace, we will be offering 95+ titles in our Self-paced Labs area, this year we have configured the room to give you more access the to subject matter experts you come to see. Our room will be divided into 4 focus areas, and while you can take any lab, anywhere…we invite you to find the are that aligns with your interests as we have staffed each area with specific experts to answer your questions, tell you about their favorite features, or deep dive into a solution with you.

This journey behind-the-scenes takes about 30-45 minutes, covers all of the elements in the room and covers business and technical topics. The final destination on the tour will bring you to our world famous Command Center wall where you can see how we monitor the Hands-on Labs room in real time, using VMware products. If you want to see what happens behind the curtains, stop by the Tours Check-in Desk at one of the tour times below.
