At VMworld, attending our exciting sessions is only half the fun. There are also plenty of opportunities to socialize, network, meet new friends, hang out and let loose.
The Solutions Exchange is an incredible showcase for VMworld sponsors and exhibitors, but it also plays host to two highly anticipated events: our welcome reception and our hall crawl.
Join your fellow VMworld attendees on the floor of the Solutions Exchange to kick things off in style with hors d’oeuvres, drinks and camaraderie. Explore vendor offerings, discover the new technologies on display, and get to know each other in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere.
Always a highlight at VMworld, the hall crawl gives you the chance to get up close and personal with the VMware ecosystem, sponsors and exhibitors in the Solutions Exchange. Take part in giveaways and contests, pick up some free goodies, view demos, get in-depth product information and socialize while enjoying snacks and drinks.
