Hello Cloud Explorers!
The tech world is buzzing again – VMware Explore 2025 is officially on the horizon, and guess what? This year, it’s returning to the iconic Venetian Convention Center in Las Vegas from August 25–28, 2025. Mark your calendars, book those flights, and get ready for a week of innovation, networking, and—yes—a little fun under the Nevada sun.
Why I’m Excited for This Year
As someone deeply embedded in virtualization, cloud infrastructure, and the growing edge ecosystem, VMware Explore isn’t just a conference—it’s a recharge station. It’s where I get the latest scoop on:
- vSphere, NSX, and VMware Cloud Foundation advancements 🧠
- Hands-on labs with real-world scenarios 💻
- AI & GenAI infrastructure use cases 🤖
- Exclusive sessions from VMware insiders and partners 🚀
And of course… meeting the community. There’s nothing like talking shop with peers who “get it.”
What to Expect in 2025
Though the full agenda hasn’t dropped yet, VMware has teased a few key themes:
- Private AI and Sovereign Cloud
- Next-gen EUC (End-User Computing)
- Modern App Platforms with Tanzu
- Zero Trust Security Strategies
As VMware continues evolving under Broadcom’s leadership, expect some bold announcements—possibly around licensing models, ecosystem integrations, and deeper automation tooling.
Planning Tips
If you’re planning to attend, a few quick tips from past years:
- Book your hotel early – rooms at The Venetian go fast.
- Check the Content Catalog early July and pre-register for popular sessions.
- Bring a power bank and comfy shoes – it’s a marathon, not a sprint.
- Download the VMware Explore app – trust me, it saves your brain.
