FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, I hope you have been enjoying the TAM newsletter recently. This week I wanted to provide a reminder regarding VMworld. If you are attending VMworld or thinking of attending this awesome event as a TAM customer there are many opportunities for you to participate in additional sessions specifically for our TAM customers. Every year at VMworld we have a dedicated area exclusively for TAM customers called TAM Customer Central. I want to encourage you to discuss this with your TAM prior to VMworld and ensure you are well prepared for this amazing event. Over the next few weeks I will be bringing you more information on VMworld as a TAM customer as the event draws ever closer.
I wish you a fantastic and productive week ahead.
Virtually Yours
VMware TAM Team
