VMworld information

VMworld 2015 will be again at San Francisco (for the US edition) and Barcelona (for the EU edition).

• US edition: will be in San Francisco during August 30 – September (with a partner day on August 30)
• EU edition: will be in Barcelona during October 13 – 15 (with a partner day on 12)

As usual, both conferences close on Thursday after the lunch time (at least for the main sessions and activities). Pre-registrations for both events are already open. Pricining and the discount of course are not published yet, but will probably remain the same.

If you are looking for a cheap way to attend, actually you can use the Alumni discount (or the VCP discount, but is not so good as the Alumni one). Plus you can use the VMUG Advantage discount with one other VMworld discount. This is the only VMworld discount that is combinable, and applies only to VMUG Advantage Members.

And remember also to vote for you preferite sessions with the Call for Papers Voting.
