#VMworld 2016 – My session picks
Sam McGeown
In my post yesterday I promised to post my VMworld session picks, so here it is! I have filled my schedule, and even added some alternate picks when there were too many good sessions to go for. My session picks are focussing around:
- vRealize Automation
- NSX
- VSAN
- PowerCLI, APIs and automation
Now, before anyone tells me I’ve picked too many and I won’t make it to all of them - I know! I can guarantee I’ll get distracted/tired/hungry and won’t make all of them, but if I could…
