VMworld Schedule Builder is LIVE-Better Hurry!
Well this will be the fourth VMworld for me and every year it becomes bigger, better and more exciting. It’s truly amazing the attention this conference gets and rightfully so. Not only do you get access to some of the brightest minds in the business but it allows you to network with your peers and explore the endless possibilities of virtualization through numerous breakout sessions, labs and the vendor laden solutions exchange. And not to mention you get to hob knob around Vegas like you own the place. Any who, here is a list of sessions I frantically signed up for as I thought they would go as quick as a dropped Jonas Brothers ticket in a Junior High cafeteria. Subject to change, but a good start none the less…if I didn’t mention it earlier you better hurry….
