I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend VMware Explore 2023 in Barcelona, marking my second in-person participation at this event. It was an immersive experience, uniting experts from diverse domains and providing a platform for engaging with both existing and potential clients.

During this occasion, I delved into discussions and had the privilege of presenting a session titled “Unlock the Power of Azure VMware Solution.” Stepping onto a larger stage than I was accustomed to 🙂 was a pivotal moment for me, marking my debut in openly addressing a more extensive audience. It was an exhilarating experience, not only providing an avenue to share knowledge and insights but also allowing me to co-present alongside my colleague, Richard.

What truly sets VMware Explore apart is the invaluable chance it provides to meet new faces, forge new connections, and reinforce existing relationships. The interactions are not just about business; they’re about creating a network of professionals who share a passion for innovation and technology. It’s these connections that often pave the way for collaborative endeavors and future opportunities.
VMware Explore has a really special vibe. It’s a mix of new ideas, sharing info, and friendship that makes learning and growing easy.
Looking forward, especially after the acquisition of VMware by Broadcom, I sincerely hope that these conferences continue to thrive. They serve as a beacon of innovation and a meeting ground for some of the brightest minds in the industry. I eagerly anticipate future editions, hoping for more opportunities to engage, learn, and contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of technology.
Attending VMware Explore has been a catalyst for personal and professional growth, leaving an indelible mark on my journey. It’s an event that not only showcases cutting-edge technology but also embodies a spirit of collaboration and shared vision that resonates deeply with every participant.
