The VMware User Group (VMUG) is returning to Seattle on Tuesday, April 12, 2016, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Taking place at the Hyatt Regency Bellevue, this free, one-day event is designed for all IT professionals—experts and novices—currently using VMware or considering virtualization.

The Seattle VMUG UserCon will feature not one, but two keynote sessions. The first, titled “Cloud Native Dev What?” and presented by VMware Integration Architect Nick Marshall, will open the event. Tech marketer, author, vExpert, and vSpecialist Jase McCarty will share his expertise during his lunchtime keynote, “What’s New in VMware’s Hyper-Converged Software and What It Means to You.” In addition, this year’s Seattle VMUG UserCon offers a slew of noteworthy educational sessions discussing topics such as VSAN 6.2, vSphere, vRealize, data protection, and more.

With several opportunities to connect with other users and IT professionals interested in virtualization and cloud infrastructure, attendees will also discover the latest in IT products and services in a diverse Exhibit Hall, experience community sessions and product demonstrations in the Demo Zone, and enter for the chance to win prizes, including an iPad Mini4, an Amazon ECHO, and a Fitbit Blaze.

Registration for the Seattle VMUG UserCon is free and open to all members of the tech industry. Visit the event details page to view the most up-to-date agenda and register for this must-attend event for VMware users.
