What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but not during VMware Explore.
Since 2019, I’ve attended every edition: in Barcelona, online during the COVID pandemic, and last year, for the first time in Las Vegas.
And this year, I’m going back.
Top reasons to attend!

- Join breakout sessions on deploying, consuming, and managing private clouds.
- Visit the community theaters, where IT pioneers and fellow community members share their real-world experiences.
- Get experience with VMware Hands-on Labs, practice alongside peers in a guided environment.
- Take a certification exam, every Full Event Pass includes a voucher for a VCF certification.
- Learn about VMware’s vision and roadmap, stay ahead by knowing what’s coming in the next months and years.
- Expand your network, meet new people, or finally chat with that blogger you’ve followed for years.
Pricing
The first thing managers always ask: What will it cost?
Good news, it’s actually cheaper than last year.
Early Bird Full Event passes are available until June 16 for $1,795.
VMUG Advantage members get an additional $100 discount.
This year, there are three different types of passes, so be sure to choose the one that fits your goals best.

The Hub
This year, The Expo and The Hub are coming together. Creating a fully integrated space where attendees can connect with communities, sponsors, and partners like never before!

Networking
The Community Booth is the perfect spot to hang out and meet new people.
Last time, I had the chance to connect with some truly inspiring community members.
If I find a gap in my schedule, I always head to the VMware {code} Theatre, the sessions there are a great way to spend that time and learn something new.
Las vegas baby!
Keep in mind, VMware Explore isn’t the only thing happening in Vegas. If you’ve got some free time, here are a few must-see attractions:
- Hoover Dam An engineering marvel just a short drive away.
- Bellagio Fountains Iconic water show right on the Strip.
- Grand Canyon Worth the detour if you can swing it.
- The Sphere A stunning new immersive experience.
- Casinos Because… Vegas.
