VMUG User Conference 7-11-13

With great anticipation I quickly volunteered for this all day event.  With the lineup of speakers and sessions along with some pretty top of the line vendors and of course, free food, I knew this was one not to be missed.  Great turnout today from our community!  Nothing like handing out SWAG to get the opportunity to meet people.  I had plenty of opportunity to see some familiar faces and remember some names.

We started off with a great intro by the VMUG leaders along with Doug Bear (@dobear) talking about the Hands on Labs (@VMwareHOL ).  Next was Eric Siebert's (@ericsiebert) Keynote - The Top 10 Things you Must Know About Storage for vSphere.  The rest of the day was spent with multiple breakout sessions and vendor mingling.  

Lunch was from 12:15-12:45 (which is late for an early riser like me, but that's OK, it was great food!) Followed up by the afternoon Keynote speaker Josh Gwyther  "VMware's Future, Today". After his keynote there were even more sessions with the closing and giveaways at the end.  Then some even went to the Thirsty Lion for some vBeers and food with @Veeam @TintriInc.  If you missed out, that's OK, there's always next year, but don't miss that one!  For more information headed to http://vmug.com/phoenix , email phoenix@vmug.com or @vmugphoenix #phxvmug.  Our local VMUG chapter has over 1500 state-wide registered members, you could be the next to take us to 1600!  Don't miss out!
