By David Hill on October 13, 2016 in vCloud Air

Its coming! VMworld Barcelona is coming soon. So soon in fact it actually starts on Sunday. Wow, I can hardly believe it. Still feels like VMworld USA was last week. This will be my last VMworld Barcelona working in the vCloud Air public cloud business unit, before I transition over to my new role in the Cloud Service Provider BU. You can read about that in a seperate post. VMware vCloud Air has some awesome sessions this year and I would actively encourage all of you to see these sessions if you can get in.

VMware vCloud Air VMworld sessions available

By David Hill on September 12, 2016 in VMworld

VMware vCloud Air VMworld sessions available Now that VMworld has passed, I thought it would be a good opportunity to share the presentations that I gave. VMworld was incredibily busy time again this year, and the interest in VMwares’ vCloud Air continues to grow. Throughtout my time presenting and attending VMworld, it is interesting to see how the cloud interest has grown over the past 7 years. People are no longer only interested in private clouds, they also want to leverage the public cloud to help ease the pressures on the current on-premises infrastructure. One of my sessions talked exactly about that, the journey to cloud, and how there is a lot of similarities between the virtualization journey and the cloud journey. This session was my particular favourite to present this year. I was honoured to be asked to present the vCloud Air Spotlight session. You can watch the full […]

VMworld Barcelona – Where I will be

By David Hill on October 6, 2015 in VMworld

A few people have contacted me on twitter recently asking what sessions I am presenting at VMworld Barcelona 2015. This post is to provide a quick list of the sessions, and date and times of those sessions. Before we get into what where and when my sessions will be though. Lets have a quick re-cap on some of the things that happened at VMworld 2015 USA. Also watch a re-cap with Jay Marshall (who forgets he no longer works at VMware) and Gary Coburn talking about the Google vCloud Air partnership. and of course, no vCloud Air recap would be great without George Kobar having an appearance. Watch George talk about Microsoft Sharepoint on vCloud Air. Here is my list of sessions: Session Number Session Title Abstract Date/Time EXPERT SESSION Disaster Recovery and Object Storage with Expert – David Hill Meet the experts session.

Public Speaking Tips at IT Conferences

By David Hill on August 17, 2015 in Community, VMUG, VMworld

Recently I was asked by my manager to think about how I go about presenting at IT conferences. I’ve now been presenting at IT conferences like VMworld and EMC world for the past five years and have seen my speaker scores steadily improve. For me personally this has been the greatest achievement of my career so far, becoming a comfortable public speaker and learning how to present not only content, but make it interesting for the audience. First I wanted to start with a little history on my public speaking. This is by far the most nerve racking thing I have EVER done in my life, and on this first day I would have done anything to get out of presenting a session. It is said that the fear of public speaking is a fear greater than death for most people. – Robert T. Kiyosaki I can certainly agree with […]
