How can VMware improve the world’s leading virtualization conference? Make it a virtual conference, of course! VMware teamed with Jive Software to take the once-per-year VMworld conference and extended it (online) into a 365-day-per-year, always-on community.
Eric Nielsen, Director of Web Communities, at VMware sums it up like this, “We expanded the VMworld conference from a three day event for 15,000 to a 365 day/year destination for 50,000 virtualization professionals.
By extending the user conference to a year-round event virtualization professional can now access virtualization information and services from IT peers, academics, vendors, and analysts 24/7/365.

The virtual conference format also enables:
- The exchange of ideas, product information, and education
- Social networking through profiles and community capabilities
- Provides access to the incomparable assets of conference materials from 2005 on (including videos and pictures) with year-round updates
- Allow conference registrants to access the sessions they purchase at any time, even if they are not able to attend the event, and be able to ask questions and discuss issues
- Run expert sessions and labs with industry leaders
- Implement engaging community challenges
