Thank you to everyone who applied for the vExpert program. A special thank you to the vExpert PROs for managing the application voting; it’s a lot of work!
We are pleased to announce the list of 2024 vExperts. You can visit the vExpert Directory to see the list and profiles of each vExpert. All of the new and returning vExperts have demonstrated significant contributions to the community and a willingness to share their stories and expertise with others. Contributing is not always blogging or Twitter, as there are many VMUG leaders, public speakers, book authors, script writers, VCDXs, VMTN community moderators, and internal champions among this group.
I want to personally thank everyone who applied and point out that “vExpert” is not a technical certification or even a general measure of VMware expertise. The vExpert PROs selected applicants who were particularly engaged with their community on VMware topics and who had developed a substantial personal platform of influence in their communities.
If you were awarded vExpert, you should now have the acceptance email in your inbox which will explain the entire program and what you need to do to be enrolled in our private vExpert community. We will use the email address provided in your vExpert application for this process as well as conducting the on-boarding throughout the next few weeks so hold tight and expect another email from us soon.
Don’t forget to read the entire accept and decline emails.
If you were declined, don’t worry we are here to help! You can appeal the decision by going to vExpert Application History and clicking on your 2024 application. When you appeal, include as much detail as you can. We are focuses on community activities done in 2023. For in person events such as sessions, teachings please include the date, location, subject, audience size and a URL if available.
To look up your name, search the vExpert Directory.
If you missed out on the 2024 applications, we are opening the second half applications in June, 2024.
Thank You,
Corey Romero, the vExpert PROs as well as the VMware Social Media Team
