Sure, VMworld is about learning. It’s also about networking with people – friends, colleagues, customers, and even respected competitors. Heck – I’m in full on cram mode now. We are prepping content, kit to support the hands-on-labs, finalizing face-melting demos, giveaways (1 iPad per hour), and much, much more. Hey, I’m getting daily “where is your content” nag emails (well deserved!) from the VMworld crew.
but – it’s also about having a little fun while saying THANK YOU to the customers :-)
Since I started being “Mr. VMware at EMC” – one thing I said to Joe was “I want EMC to not only win in the VMware context on our own merits, but have fun while doing it!”
So… here are details on the VMworld 2010 EMC/VMware customer appreciation party…
Read on (including how to get an invite)…
Where:
(Temple)
540 HOWARD ST (2 blocks from Moscone Center)
When:
Tuesday August 31, 2010 6:30-10:30pm
What:
EMC’s Customer appreciation party – our chance to have fun, and thank EMC customers and partners. There will be great food, two open bars, and in general – a good fun time :-)
Who:
It’s by invite - only up to 500 people – have your EMC team reach out to their vSpecialists and Brittany Coulson.
It is going to be AWESOME :-)
This sounds like a GREAT time. Kudos EMC!

Well done again! Trivia; Does anyone remember what was in the "Virtual Geek" drink from your last party in SF? (I know the answer...)
