Watching your child take his/her first steps. Graduating from college. Buying your first home. Those are the only experiences I can think of that may rival the excitement many of us at VMware have for VMware Explore this year. Ok, they may be a slight exaggeration, but we miss it – meeting in person, co-innovating with peers, touching new technologies, and exploring new use cases. It may be that ridiculous level of excitement that made us want to celebrate.
Now, VMware Explore is about more than exploring how communications service providers are enabling enterprise transformation, or how SD-WAN and SASE are empowering the increasingly distributed nature of work, or how more workloads are moving to the edge then anywhere else in the network. Now VMware Explore is also where you’re going to WIN a PRIZE!
While the entire company has hundreds of sessions for you to choose from, we have compiled a list of sessions special for service providers and enterprises looking to explore network modernization and edge monetization.
Session Examples:
- Service Provider and Edge GM and SVP, Sanjay Uppal, will be joined by Aaron Ayers from JBS and Shahid Ahmed from NTT to discuss how to “Modernize and Monetize with VMware Multi-Cloud Edge Solutions“

- Rakesh Misra, Director of R&D will have a discussion with Art King, Director of Product Management at Cohere, Joe Thome, VP of Business Operations and Marketing at AirHop and Sidd Chenumolu, VP of Technology Development for Dish on “Open Approaches for RAN Programmability and Innovation“
