I am not heading to VMware Explore this year but I thought I would have a browse through the sessions to build out an agenda as if I was there!

I am not heading to VMware Explore this year but I thought I would spend a bit of time going through the Content Catalog. I have built out a rough agenda based on the products I am interested in, you can find that agenda below (I have not put much effort into avoiding duplicate time slots).

Honorary Mentions

There are a couple of sessions from Xtravirt, these are;

As IT accelerates in this era of AI, Cross Cloud Services and Big Data, join Xtravirt and a panel of Higher Education and Government IT leaders for an open and honest discussion on how Public Sector organisations are evolving to embrace these new opportunities.

From universities to local government, how are establishments achieving the game-changing benefits new technologies offer?
