VMware PEX 2015 – Sessions and Social

VMware Partner Exchange (PEX) 2015 in San Francisco is happening in less than a week. Pre-Conference Boot Camps from January 31 to February 2, and the conference itself February 3-5. I will be flying into SFO mid-day on Saturday, suppose to land around 12:40 PM.

Looking forward to stopping in to the VCDX boot camp on Sunday morning. Then on Monday workshops on VSAN in the morning and NSX in the afternoon. My PEX session schedule is focused on VSAN and NSX:

NET4288 – Operational Best Practices for VMware NSX
NET4253 – The Practical Path to NSX and Network Virtualization
STO4465 – Performance and Best Practices for Business Critical Applications Leveraging Virtual SAN

With a little EUC thrown in for good measure:

EUC4322 – High Performance Desktops with 3D

There are also a few social events I am looking forward to.

First vBacon, I missed this one at VMworld and from what I hear it was a really good time. The vBacon festivities are happening Tuesday, February 3 from 10 PM to 12 AM at the Cable Car City Pub. RSVP here: http://tweetvite.com/event/vBaconPEX2015

Then the vExpert/VCDX Tweetup. Always great to meet up with fellow vExperts and VCDXs. The
vExpert Tweetup Tuesday February 3, 7 PM at the Chieftain. RSVP here: http://vite.io/VMwareTweetups

The PernixData Pex Party is also February 3 from 7 to 10 PM at the Hawthorne Lounge and I plan to stop in there for a bit.

And then there is PEXunderground from @vmunderground… Like where they are going with this…

If you are going to be at PEX 2015 and would like to meet up hit me up @herseyc. Maybe breakfast at Mel’s Drive-In, a cup of coffee at Blue Bottle, or a cigar at the Cigar Bar and Grill.

Looking forward to a week of learning and catching up. Hope to see you there.
