Thank you to everyone who applied for vExpert. We are pleased to announce the list of 2018 Second Half vExperts. Each of these vExperts have demonstrated significant contributions to the community and a willingness to share their expertise with others. Contributing is not always blogging or Twitter as there are many public speakers, book authors, script writers, VMUG leaders, VMTN community moderators and internal champions among this group.
We are on-boarding 223 new vExperts from 41 countries, what shows that the vExpert is a global community and we receive close to 400 applications.
I want to personally thank everyone who applied and point out that a “vExpert” is not a technical certification or even a general measure of VMware expertise. The judges selected people who were particularly engaged with their community and who had developed a substantial personal platform of influence in those communities.
If you feel like you were not selected in error, that’s entirely possible. The judges may have overlooked or misinterpreted what you wrote in your application. Email us at [email protected] and we can discuss your situation. We looked at all of the 2018 and some of 2017 activities to determine the voting results.
If you were selected as a vExpert 2018, we will be conducting the on-boarding throughout the next few weeks so hold tight and expect future communication from us soon.
You should now have the “YOU ARE IN” email in your inbox which will explain the entire program and what you need to do to be enrolled in our private vExpert community as well as listed in the vExpert directory. We will use the email address provided in your vExpert application. We will extend the vExpert Reception invite to you for both VMworld US in Las Vegas as well as VMworld Europe in Barcelona. Congratulations to all the vExperts, new and returning.
We’re looking forward to working with you all. Command + F away and find your name if you can’t wait for the welcome email.
Don’t forget to complete your profile at vexpert.vmware.com and sign the NDA. This is very important.
If you were not selected, don’t give up. Try to engage more with the community and find a vExpert in your region to mentor and guide you to apply next time.
Corey Romero, and the VMware Social Media & Community Team
