Folks – if you haven’t registered yet, and you’re a VMware, EMC or Cisco partner – you’re going to miss out.
Working furiously on the EMC boot camp (Tuesday, starts at 9am) and I hope to make it epic. In my section I’ll be:
- Challenging myself to a Pecca Kucha presentation (look it up – this will be a gas)
- Explaining where you can expect to see VMware and EMC go to market together in 2011, why, and if you’re a partner, how to get leverage from that.
- Doing an open-kimono around the products, and what’s next – in open transparent ways that make some uncomfortable. I’m pushing the engineering teams to bend the rules left and right. This will require a “no competitors” policy in that section – SORRY.
- Taking any and all questions you want to ask – along with absolutely any feedback of any kind.
We’ll also have details on all sorts of programs, products, and tools for our VMware/EMC partners.
We’re rolling in the VMware/EMC Hands-on-lab, where you’ll be able to play with all the tech yourself… (always super popular!). We’re trying to pull off a high-risk demo that will probably fail :-)
I’ll also note that VMware has announced major products to VMware partners-only at EVERY PEX I’ve been to.
Join us!
