It’s not a surprise that Generative AI featured heavily as a topic at VMware Explore US last week in Vegas. 2023 is the year that most large tech companies jump on this movement/bandwagon and try to ride it all the way through to the top of the hype curve and then down the other side. […] Read More
I must say… it was good to be back at the Mascone Center and San Francisco for VMware Explore 2022. Some people might question my excitement at getting back in person in that city for that event, but as I sit here on the Tuesday after to reflect… all I can express is how good […] Read More
Ok, here we are… it’s been three years since VMworld 2019 and we are back next week in San Francisco at the Mascone Centre.
