Introduction to VMware Explore 2023
As the new year progresses, we can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation building up within us. It’s that time of year when we start gearing up for one of the biggest events in the tech industry: VMware Explore! This year, the U.S. edition is coming back to the bright lights of Las Vegas, and we’re already planning with the VMware Events team. With top-notch speakers, cutting-edge sessions, and exciting networking opportunities, VMware Explore is the place to be for anyone in the virtualization or multi-cloud space.
Dates and Locations
We’re looking forward to experiencing the latest trends and innovations in the multi-cloud universe, the virtualization world, and everything in between. Mark your calendars, folks – it’s all happening from August 21 – 24, 2023, at the Venetian Convention and Expo Center in Las Vegas, NV, one week earlier than usual. And for those of you in Europe, VMware Explore Barcelona will be from November 6 – 9 at the Fira Gran Via, as usual. So mark your calendars and get ready for an unforgettable experience!
Unifying Communities at VMware Explore
One of the cool new things we’re trying to do this year is unifying all the Communities under a village. The VMware Communities Village will be the place where you can find the VMUG Space, the Champions Program, and the VMTN Booth with the VMware {code} and vBrownbag Sessions, Bloggers and vExperts all in one place. This will be a great opportunity to attend sessions, learn from industry experts, meet and network with other passionate community members, and maybe even win some cool prizes or participate in fun activities!
Making the Most of Your Trip
We know that travel budgets can be tight, especially in the current economic climate, but there are plenty of ways to make the most of your trip to VMware Explore without breaking the bank. First, start planning early to get the best deals on flights and hotels. And if you’re self-funding your trip, consider reaching out to your local VExpert, TAM, or Expert Pro to find out about other ways to save money.
Opportunities to Attend VMware Explore
We are working with the VMware Events team on offering more passes for bloggers this year, so one great way to attend VMware Explore without paying for a pass is to become a blogger or have a VMware {code} session accepted. We’re always seeking out community content to include in the schedule builder. So Participating in these sessions is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your expertise and contribute to the wider Community. Keep an eye out for Call for Papers announcements, and don’t miss out on this opportunity to attend the event and share your experiences with the wider Community!
