The Emerging Technologies and Trends is a track you don’t want to miss at this year’s VMworld USA conference, taking place Aug. 27-31 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV.
The focus in this track will be highlighting the emerging technologies driving digital transformation, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV), that enable our partners and customers to execute their digital business transformation strategies. You will also learn how VMware is exploring and identifying disruptive technology trends to shape future solutions yet to be built.
