VMware Explore: The industry’s go-to event for multi-cloud

VMware, Inc. has announced the launch of VMware Explore, a global multi-cloud industry event. VMware Explore is an evolution of the company’s flagship conference, VMworld, and will include more technologies, as well as ecosystem and developer communities that contribute to the multi-cloud universe.

VMware Explore US will be held at the Moscone Center in San Francisco from August 29 to September 1, 2022. VMware Explore Europe will take place later this year, on November 7–10, 2022, at the Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, Spain. Additional VMware Explore regional events are planned for Brazil (October 19-20), China (November 17-18), Japan (November 15-16), and Singapore (November 15-16). (November 15-16).

Following two years of virtual events, VMware Explore attendees will enjoy a refreshed customer event as well as the opportunity to network with new and old friends and colleagues. Attendees can expect feature-rich technical content, both in-person and on-demand, as well as more business-oriented sessions, customer success stories, community corners, and a revitalized attendee experience. Attendees will gain an understanding of multi-cloud and edge architectures from VMware product experts and industry thought leaders, as well as how to streamline developer experiences and DevOps practices across applications. In many ways, VMware Explore will be familiar to previous VMworld attendees while also providing numerous new opportunities for discovery.

This event will bring together customers, partners, developers, and industry experts to share best practices and insights,” said Laura Heisman, senior vice president and chief marketing officer, VMware. “This evolution reflects how VMware is transforming to work with our customers and ecosystem to innovate and deliver powerful VMware Cross Cloud services for the Multi-Cloud Era.”
