In about one week VMworld will start. This year VMworld will be totally different than the previous years. One major difference, which is in your benefit, is that VMworld will be (mostly) completely free of charge. Isn’t that great!?

As you may be new to VMword I thought why not help you. So I have created a list of sessions that I would attend . I will try to create a list per category . So depending on the category you choose you will have mine recommended session.

 

General sessions:

Session Name	Session ID	Why?
VMworld General Session	GEN2859	It’s always good to listen to Pat Gelsinger, as he talks about the future of VMware.

Session Name	Session ID	Why?
