On Thursday, April 25, 2024, the annual VMUG UserCon took place in Frankfurt am Main. To the delight of all visitors and of course the VMUG leaders, we had top-class guests for the opening keynote. Joe Baguley (VMware CTO EMEA) and Hock Tan (Broadcom CEO) opened the event with a fireside chat.

Hock Tan explained fundamental changes in the VMware product portfolio and why they are so important.
Following the event, Hock Tan has now published an open letter to the VMUG community in which he emphasizes the importance of the VMware user group for Broadcom. He also addresses the focus of software development on a single core product (VCF), data sovereignty and the media noise of recent months. This document once again summarizes the key points of his keynote at UserCon 2024.
There are only a few days left until the German VMUG UserCon opens its doors.
Following an old tradition, the event will take place again at Kap Europa near the main train station.
An extensive agenda with sessions from VMware and community speakers as well as interesting practical examples from partners on VMware integrations are on the agenda. In between, there will be enough coffee breaks to network with other visitors.
