VMworld and VMware Explore are a series of events sponsored by VMware for over a decade. The first Tech Field Day Extra event was held at VMworld US 2010, and we have returned most years since then in both the US and Europe. For 2022, VMworld has been replaced by VMware Explore, a new event which has attracted many of the same attendees and companies.
