The VMware Technology Exchange Event..
I have been recently involved with helping put together the VMware Technology Exchange event and wanted to share some insight on what the event is about and why an ISV / IHV might be interested in attending..
Event goals: The goal of the VMware Technology Exchange event is to get our partners and product teams together to share product directions, understand integration points, and learn how VMware can help you go to market with your solution.
About the sessions: We are planning on 70% percent deep technical content and 30% business topics making this ideal for Product Managers, Software Developers, Development Managers and Business types. If I were to recommend sessions for folks out there interested in VI integration I would suggest Power Shell for Partners, VI Performance Monitoring and the VC Client Plug-ins. I tend to lean in favor of the VI oriented sessions but there are plenty of other sessions discussing Security, Storage and Applications.
Who can attend ? We are limiting this to our Technical Alliance Partners (TAP) members so if you are not a TAP member you might be interested in joining the program... For folks on a budget the Access level is no charge and you can apply at: http://www.vmware.com/partners/alliances/programs/
Please note there is a Event Fee of $725 and it also includes a 1 year license for VMware Infrastructure and VMware Workstation.
So if we see you there be sure to say hello, and if we meet during the reception I would be more than happy to purchase you a refreshment of your choice.
Regards,
Pablo Roesch
SDK Product Marketing Manager
