VMworld 2017 List of Parties
VMworld 2017
is a few weeks away! And VMworld and its list of sponsors are bringing the party to Las Vegas.
In addition to all the great education and networking that will take
place at VMworld, attendees have also become accustomed to having fun as
well. So far, things are shaping up quite nicely on that front. There
are plenty of opportunities to have a good time, and the list is
growing.
NOTE: Most events require you to take some signup action. Yes, even
if the event is free so that they can get a head count or shut things
down once the list grows too big. These things are first come, first
served.
If I'm missing an event, drop me an email or send me a Tweet (@vmblog) and I'll get it added.
