Today is the last day of VMworld. Sad and happy at the same time, Sad because I got so much from VMworld and now it is ending, but happy cause I miss my friends and family so I will get to see them again tonight.
So a Recap
Arrived on Sunday August 28, 2011 and checked into the Venetian
VMworld 2011 Venetian
It was a great choice in that it was easy to access my room between sessions. I don’t think it was way out there in price but was worth it. In room amenities is another story, those were expensive.
VMworld 2011 My Room
My room itself was a home away from home, it was really comfortable, the view was awesome. Was hard to find a power jack in a good location though.
VMworld 2011 Labs
VMworld itself was like my boss said, a firehose of information. I did see vendors, sessions, and group discussions, but the labs is what impressed me.
VMworld 2011 Lab Floor
Unfortunately this is the best pic I could get of VMworld Lab, but I tried to get a shot of the enormity of the lab.
VMworld 2011 Keynote
There were a lot of people at this conference, the flow was pretty good. Paul Maritz had his keynote in this huge area, it was really impressive with super large screens spanning the length of a blog. I probably could fit my home street in this area.
VMworld 2011 After Party
Last night (Wednesday night) there was the VMWare Party, they sure do know how to throw one.. Not a place to pick up girls though, they girl to guy ratio is like 1 to 20, being a little prejudiced, but I felt like if they were good looking, in heels, and their knees showed, they were strictly vendor eye candy.
Didn’t get a chance to hit the gym while I was here though, felt sick Sunday and Monday not until Tuesday did I feel better, I think something on the plane made me sick.
Still got some pushups and situps done in my room and there was quite a bit of walking throughout this trip. I certainly was not stationary.
