FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, as we are heading into the 2nd half of 2019 I am pleased to announce that the VMworld US 2019 Content Catalog has been released online. This is great for those wanting to see what sessions they can look forward to at this years VMworld in the US. It is also equally great for those on the fence and not certain if the content they were expecting will be shown. As of this write up there were 700+ sessions listed so I am sure that pretty much every topic possible will be covered, from introductory level 100 thru the most advanced level 400 sessions. Head over to the catalog here and take a look for yourself.
I wish you all a fantastic week ahead.
Virtually Yours
