VMworld 2013 recap – Day 1

By admin on August 27, 2013 in VMworld

The day began with meeting up with Aidan Dalgleish and Kamau Wanguhu at the Hilton lobby, with us putting last minute changes to our slide deck for session VSVC7371. Well mainly it was Aidan being the OCD expert he is putting last minute changes to slide deck. We went straight to the speaker lounge and updated the presentation. Keynote After grabbing breakfast it was time to head to the keynote. This was going to be the first keynote Pat Gelsinger presented.

VMworld 2013 Call for Papers Open

By admin on March 13, 2013 in VMworld

So straight after PEX it is time to start thinking of sessions that people would like to see at VMworld 2013. Today the VMworld call for papers opened. I will be submitting four this year, hopefully one or two of them will get accepted, but the competition is tough, and looking at the guidelines for what to submit it will be even tougher this year. Be Original –Attendees do not want to see the same presentations as last year and are looking for the latest innovation in technology. Spend time developing your title, abstract, outline, and session takeaways. These will be key factors in determining whether your session is selected and can affect session attendance. Be Educational – Attendees do not like being sold on your company. Be neutral and focus on the educational value of your presentation.
