VMware Explore 2025 expands with global on tour series & new passes

Broadcom has announced that VMware Explore 2025 will return to Las Vegas and expand globally with the Explore on Tour series visiting several international cities, including Sydney.

VMware Explore 2025 is set to begin in Las Vegas at The Venetian Convention and Expo Center, offering a programme that includes technical and business-level sessions, expert-led and self-paced labs, and networking opportunities.

The event will cover a range of topics relevant to IT professionals, such as private cloud, artificial intelligence, modern applications, networking, security, and load balancing. Technical deep dives, expert panels, and hands-on labs are planned to provide attendees with guidance on cloud infrastructure and related technologies.

Attendees in Las Vegas will have access to a broader IT ecosystem, including VMware Cloud Service Providers, hyperscalers, Value-Added OEM partners, and VMware Technology Alliance Partners, with multiple opportunities to connect and interact across the VMware community.

The 2025 edition introduces a tiered pass system, giving attendees the option to choose from Full Event Pass, Essentials Pass, or Meetings+ Pass, enabling a more tailored event experience.

Joan Stone, Vice President of Corporate Marketing at Broadcom, stated, "We are excited to offer Explore across more countries and communities while also building more engagement and choice with our flagship Las Vegas event. With Explore 2025, we're delivering more content sessions, a new pricing model and additional locations to better meet the needs of IT practitioners, innovators and leaders. The goal remains to provide our customers with insights, tools and engagement opportunities required to succeed in a continually dynamic IT environment."

This year, VMware Explore on Tour will extend to six new locations: Frankfurt, London, Mumbai, Paris, Sydney, and Tokyo. These regional events will include a curated subset of the sessions and labs featured in Las Vegas, tailored meetings programmes, and networking possibilities with key partners, regional leaders, and industry experts.

Select international stops will host companion programmes, including Advisory Boards and events in support of VMware User Group (VMUG) members. Full details and dates for each Explore on Tour city are expected to be published at a later date.

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with VMware Cloud Service Providers, major hyperscalers, and top partners in each location, facilitating direct discussion and knowledge exchange about evolving private cloud and AI trends.

Registration for VMware Explore 2025 in Las Vegas is scheduled to open in late April, with information on event registration and pass types to be made available to prospective participants.

Broadcom describes VMware Explore as a key event for IT practitioners aiming to navigate IT complexity, keep up with AI-driven developments, and advance professionally. The event will provide technical content and sessions with a focus on practical training, certifications, and demonstrations of VMware's private cloud solutions.
