Networking:
Welcome Reception
Monday, August 29, 5:00pm - 7:30pm
Start your time at the conference with good food and good conversation. Catch up with colleagues, talk to technology partners, bump into Knowledge Experts and enjoy some down time with professionals in your field in the Solutions Exchange.
 
One-on-One Meetings with Knowledge Experts
Schedule personal meetings with Knowledge Experts and discuss the topics that are most important to you. You’ll get the chance to meet highly respected leaders in the VMware community who can offer important insights and information, steer you toward additional contacts and act as an important resource for you.
 
Discussion Groups
This is a great opportunity to meet with a group of like-minded colleagues and to share information about challenges and opportunities you all face. Groups with people in similar industries, in a casual, discussion-based format will make networking a natural outcome.
 
Hang Space
Take a break from the VMworld action for a bit in the Hang Space, just in front of the Solutions Exchange (Halls B & C). We will create a truly relaxing park, complete with trees, plants, benches and fun diversions. Play a game of volleyball, chill out with a snack on a blanket on the grass (that’s right, we said grass!), or socialize with friends. It’s like being outside without leaving the building! You will also find stations to send email, recharge your cell phones, and be as productive as you like, all in a relaxed atmosphere.
 
Solutions Exchange
Visit more than 250 technology partners at the Solutions Exchange, and learn how they can provide complementary solutions that can help you dramatically reduce your IT complexity. Discuss your specific questions and challenges, hear about solutions and connect with technology partners who can provide advice and information at the conference and afterward.
