My personal selection for VMworld 2021

VMworld 2021 is now taking place virtually for the second time. Even if this is not a real substitute for an on-site event, it is a good source of information in times of pandemic.

VMworld will take place virtually in several time zones between October 5 and 7, 2021. Participation is free of charge. All you need to do is register on the VMworld portal page.

My selection

This list are my selected favorites. The order is purely alphabetical and no ranking. A shift towards Kubernetes, Modern Apps and GPUaaS has been noticeable in recent years. The latter was added in the current year by a Bitfusion with Kubernetes project. However, some classics like Frank’s 60 Minutes of NUMA, talks by Cormac Hogan and Duncan Epping are still part of the must-attend program.

VMworld EU survival guide – 2019 Edition

It’s just a few weeks ago that VMworld US took place in San Francisco. Attendees and (remote) spectators received loads of first hand information. New releases, new roadmaps, new acquisitions, new platforms… wow!

I haven’t finished a fraction of all session recordings I wanted to watch. But yet there’s more to come (shhhh! seven! nudge, nudge). It’s only a few weeks until VMworld EU will open its gates at the Fira Gran Via in beautiful Barcelona.

If you’re considering to go there and you’re not decided yet. Just two words from my side: “do it!“. I’m working with VMware products since…. like forever, but my first visit to VMworld Barcelona was in 2017. And there’s only one thing I really regret: That I haven’t been there in 2016, 2015, 2014, etc…

Last year I’ve written a VMworld Europe survival guide. Most of the information is still valid today. If you’re a first time visitor, feel free to read the blogpost. I’m sure you’ll get some useful information for trip planning, accommodation and getting around. Oh, by the way: the price for an airport return ticket has dropped a little. 🙂
