Last month we were excited to welcome all of you to our latest VMworld conference. Many of you joined us (virtually, of course), but some of you may have missed the opportunity this time around. Maybe it slipped your mind, or you were busy with other things. But don’t worry, it’s not too late. You can still view breakout session content at our VMworld On-Demand Video Library.
Top 10 vSphere Breakout Sessions This Year
What were the most popular vSphere sessions at VMworld this year? Here is the top 10 list, in order of attendance. There are many other sessions that touch on or include vSphere in some way, but the sessions below are specific to vSphere and are available in the On-Demand Video Library.
[MCL1833] 10 Things You Need to Know About Project Monterey

As usual, vSphere future directions and tech previews drew a lot of interest, especially Project Monterey. This is not a comprehensive list, as there were also general sessions, keynotes, and partner sessions. I encourage you to search the VMworld On-Demand Video Library and see what else you can find. Not enough time to see it all? Do what I do and boost the playback rate in the video player to 1.25x or 1.5x. I’m not sure you’ll be able to keep up with 2x though…unless you’re a chipmunk.
