So, if it is all so good then why, after getting confirmations for sessions, they were firstly downgraded to a wait list and now do not appear at all?  Makes me wonder who is bribing whom to bump people off the sessions?

What was the point in booking the sessions early if we only get bumped?

My schedule was cleared as well. I had signed up a month ago and emailed the schedule to myself on the 25th. It is all gone now, I glad emailed myself so I have a record! I think the system is messed up.

I just think that VMworld 2009 sucks.. I have had my schedule for today (Monday 31, 2009) cleared. All sessions just disappeared and I could'nt schedule anything today afterwards because all sessions was filled.

 

Wondering if all sessions for tomorrow will disappear tomorrow morning again?

 

I'm not going to VMworld another time. This is fraud.
