Reading Time: < 1 minuteDopo gli eventi VMUG.IT della primavera 2018, si delineano i prossimi eventi, previsti per l’autunno 2018. Partiamo subito da ciò che non ci sarà: come già scritto, per questioni logistiche legate al cambio di data del VMworld Europeo (che passa da settembre a novembre), nel 2018 non ci sarà alcuna UserCon. Ma siamo già al lavoro per preparare la UserCon 2019, quindi non preoccupatevi!
