VMware TAM Source 11.14



FROM THE EDITORS VIRTUAL DESK
Hi everyone, yes we are now less than 2 weeks away from VMworld US 2019 in San Francisco. Have you used schedule builder and reserved the sessions you wish to attend? I always advise my customers to at least be on the waitlist for the sessions they want to attend but are already full in case the session size is expanded and possibly your waitlist becomes an attendance. In addition the same holds true for the special TAM Customer Central session, many of which have already had their capacity expanded in order to accommodate the demand.

This week we continue our VMworld coverage from TAM and Education as well as some tweets that may be of interest via the @VMwareTAM Twitter Account.

In the meantime, please enjoy this weeks newsletter, and chat to your VMware TAM/Sales team representative if you require any further information or feel free to email us at tamsource@vmware.com and we will do our best to answer your question or provide any assistance that we can.

I wish you all a fantastic week ahead and will be sending a final pre-VMworld update next week before the main event.

Virtually Yours
