Unique community. VMware customers are extremely passionate and love sharing knowledge. Makes the conference "feel" different.
[-]
Jan Schwoebel
partners, vExperts just everything. This conference rocks!
[-]
Eric L Nielsen
For me, VM's are just super cool, HP/Dell, just don't have the cool software stack layers that allow us to make VirtualMachines
[-]
VMworld
@Jase_mtlngs915 We're flattered. Thanks for the kind words! It's a #ReadyForAny kind of vibe.

Best big show that still feels little!

[-]
Matt Lydy
@furrier Neon Trees and Alabama Shakes

use the mobile App
[-]
VMworld
@vGazza Yes! The mobile app is a must for all #VMworld attendees. Very helpful.
[-]
Nikki Staib
Go to the NewV session on Sunday. Lots of great tips for navigating the event.
[-]
Matt Arvidson
@VMworld When will the app be released
[-]
Rodrigo Diaz
When the App will be published?
[-]

@JMArvidson Mid-August, before the conference!
[-]
Keith Townsend - Light will overcome darkness
don't over load your schedule. Leave time for networking.
[-]
Mikael Korsgaard
Go talk to people you haven't met before.
[-]
Eric L Nielsen
visit the hangspace!
[-]
Tony Dunn 😎
Network face-to-face vs. online, that is the best part of VMworld. Make connections that will last and then you will know who that avatar "really" is
[-]
Tommy Berry
sounds like networking is key, everyone keeps mentioning that..
[-]
Chris Chua
Use your own bag and not the VMworld one
[-]
Bryan Krausen
Spend time in Hang Space, introduce yourself to folks you don't know, watch the vBrownBag series, and talk to vendors in Solutions Exchange.
[-]
Keith Townsend - Light will overcome darkness
ride around on a Ravello scooter or a wedding dress. You'll meet plenty of new people. (Both happened in past years)
[-]
Nikki Staib
Get to general session early!
[-]
Ian Noble
get to the solutions exchange early for the best swag & event invites
[-]
Roger Lund (vExpert)
Start prepping now.
[-]
Ian Noble
get as fit as you can before you go

I can't find the NewV Session in the schedule builder.

I'm a VCI, so I'm reading the training material by myself. But it would be great learn more from the specialist about NSX.
