This is the third year I will have been at VMworld with PHD Virtual, and I have say that each year VMware raises the bar for social media at events!
Every day have a huge timetable of sessions, events, and meetups to go to. Also the sense of community and friendship with people you only meet 1-2 times a year is so strong!
This year VMware delivered an even bigger conference. There was a gigantic screen in the expo area displaying all of the conference tweets, videos, and the VMworld streaming TV channel!
Dr Stephen Herrod, CTO of VMware also threw a community party for VMware clients, bloggers, and vExperts (as a vExpert/blogger I was lucky enough to attend). This party is important each year as it allows key VMware staff to meet the evangelists who are pushing them online and also to allow community members to mingle in a more formal environment than the showroom floor.
I shouldn’t forget to mention that the VMworld party featured the local to Vegas band THE KILLERS!!
The next VMworld is in Copenhagen and we highly recommend all technology professionals to attend!
