VMworld 2020 Content Catalog

The VMworld Content Catalog is now available to view. You can see it ​here and whether you’re a registered attendee or looking to see what’s on the schedule, the Content Catalog will help you get an idea of your schedule!

The catalog is to help you get an idea of the tracks and session types you may find interesting. This year with two ways to register for VMworld, free and a paid for, there will be differences in what you can register for depending on whether you chose to pay for the online event. There is also a schedule builder is where you will build out your own schedule; this will be made available to those that have registered for VMworld. 

I have gone through the list of tracks a and courses both from the free and paid registration options and there is plenty to keep you busy, however, I thought I would offer some recommendations:
