VMware Explore 2022 Session Picks

VMware Explore is the new flagship conference from VMware. This year the Europe event is back to real life, hosted in Barcelona November 7-10 2022. Explore replaces VMworld and has big shoes to fill; the latter running for a consecutive 18 years and attracting a combined 35,000+ visitors each yeah across 2 different regions.

VMware is known across the industry for innovation. First pioneering virtualisation, then the software defined datacentre, and more recently the multi-cloud universe. The new Explore event expresses some of the transformational areas of the VMware portfolio like modern applications and multi-cloud.

Although there is no hybrid or digital offering, many of the in-person sessions will be recorded and added to the VMware Explore Video Library, along with a significant amount of on-demand technical content. Check back to the Video Library after the event, as accessing the content is free of charge with a Customer Connect account.

You can browse the 300+ sessions in the VMware Explore 2022 Europe Content Catalog, or check out some of the interesting sessions I have pulled out below. What’s more, the back catalog of VMworld sessions from 2021 and 2020 is also available to view for free in the Video Archive. It’s great to see so many customer success stories this year, as well as several themes that tie in with the wider UK Public Sector policies and initiatives.
