So this year is my first VMware Explore since the change from VMworld. It’s bitter sweet, as VMworld was the conference to always represent the largest virtualisation conference and always associated with VMware. Change can be good at times, they say. It’s really exciting to get to travel and meet friends from around the globe, last we all connected was in 2019, my last in-person conference. Then was the virtual conferences that was cool to a certain extent, as we all did miss the human interaction and socialising.
So, the day has arrived, and I make my way to Barcelona from South Africa. Its a long trip, but was really looking forward to the event. I was expecting some big news, especially with the acquisition for VMware by Broadcom.
As we kicked of the General Session, we had a short message from the CEO of Broadcom and not much could be mentioned as there was a hold up on the finalisation of the acquisition. We still had a great keynote from VMware Execs and including some clients.
Every Keynote, keeps you on the edge pf your seat as you get to see why VMware is one of the great technology companies that are out there and why clients globally trust them.

It was really great to meet the vExpert team Corey & Eric was at the conference and was pleased to hear that Broadcom understands the value of the vExpert community and that they will be still keeping the program active and Corey will still be the captain of this amazing vessel.
So enjoy watching the on demand recordings from VMware Explore and lets see if this was the last of VMware Explore as a new chapter will begin with Broadcom for 2024.
