Next week, I’ll be in Las Vegas for VMware Partner Exchange (PEX) 2013. This is a conference where VMware focuses on their partners. It’ll be a great chance for me to hear VMware’s plans for the next year first-hand, and meet with a lot of VMware’s and my partners.
This will be my third Partner Exchange, but my first as an actual attendee. In 2011 and 2012, I was working at the conference. In 2011, I presented in the EMC Partner boot camp session and then worked in the EMC booth in the Solutions Exchange giving demos on the then-new EMC VNXe. In 2012, I was responsible for running EMC’s booth in the Solutions Exchange.
This year, however, I’m going to actually get to attend sessions and trainings, as well as have sit-down meetings with several of our partners. Plus, I’ll get to see a lot of the folks I interact with online, but in-person.
While there are a lot of things happening at PEX, here are a few of the things I’m looking forward to the most:
If you’ll be at PEX and want to meet, reach out to me and let’s set something up.
If you won’t be there, and want to keep up with me in more or less real-time, I’ll be doing my usual conference live-tweeting, so keep an eye on my Twitter feed. The official hashtag for the event is #VMwarePEX, so it’ll be easy to keep up with the conference from afar.
For (slightly) more coherent info, keep an eye out here. I’ll be posting reports from PEX as I get the chance.
Hope to see you there!
