VMworld 2025

Overall good, one recollection is that the app with its maps was a bit confusing to use when one didn’t know where to actually go.

This is my 3rd visit to VMworld US (having been to EMEA each year since 2011), and it was a fantastic experience. The new layout and additional capacity at the Moscone were great, staff well coordinat...ed, and overall felt good to be back in SFO. The announcements further reinforce VMware’s position as the most complete player in the Any App, Any Cloud, Any Device space. Just some small feedback - I would have preferred some better food, rather than sandwiches most of the time (maybe bowls, wet food to some extent) but that’s a small price to pay. One thing I did miss (and maybe it’s at EMEA as a staple) is the lack of drink coolers around the venue for attendees - worth a look into. Voir plus

Customer conversations and content resonate with the multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud story. Check out my blog on the same https://panzura.com/blog/vmworld-2019-cloud-not-cloud/

It was a great opportunity not just for secession which was fantastic, it was amazing to meet professionals from the field. Networking in my opinion was the key in the VMworld.
