Tech Field Day Extra at VMworld US 2013

Tech Field Day Extra at VMworld US 2013

August 26–August 29, 2013

#EVMWU13

Who: Tech, Virtualization

What: Extra, VMworld

When: Past

Location: San Francisco

Tech Field Day is coming to VMworld US 2013!

VMworld is the hottest ticket in the IT Infrastructure industry, and we always encourage our delegates to attend. As in the past, we’ve secured sponsorship from VMworld exhibitors to help pay the cost of airfare, hotel, and event passes for folks who otherwise would not be able to make the event.

Since we will have so many delegates together in one place, we will also be recording Field Day Roundtable videos and on-the-floor highlight videos to share this great event with the world. Our roundtables feature a group of independent folks as well as representatives from our sponsoring vendors discussing the day’s announcements and cool technologies.

We will also be roaming the Solutions Exchange in search of great stuff to share. We will be posting these videos here throughout the event!
