VMworld 2010 Party

Wednesday, 7-10pm

You’ll be ready to party after three packed days of education and networking. This is a great time to get to know other IT professionals in a relaxed, informal setting with delicious food, activities and entertainment. Take a break and enjoy the fun!

On Wednesday evening Metreon, Moscone North and Yerba Buena Gardens will convert into a party atmosphere that will get you on the road to happy! Journey to the Tilt Arcade to play over 100 games, roll around inside of a human sphere (ever hear of Zorbing!) or fling 25 feet in the air on a bungee. Keep the momentum going by watching break dancers blow you away or skateboarders on a half pipe amaze you, before getting something tasty to eat and drink at the many food areas. Dance at the rock concert where Elastic Skye gets the crowd ready for the excitement of our headline band: INXS! (Band details and video clips)
