First Chicago VMUG Conference a Big Success

Posted by Chris Wahl in Events, VMUG | 0 comments

The Chicago VMUG held its first ever regional conference on Monday, October 31st. By all accounts, the event was a huge success – we had 10 VMware breakout sessions, 15 sponsor sessions, well over 50 sponsors in our exhibition hall, and set a VMUG record for “first event attendance” with 500 attendees present! Way to go Chicagoland – Also, thanks to those VMUG members from outside our area!

You should be receiving a survey request by e-mail from VMUG – please make sure to fill it out to help us get an idea on what you liked or did not like at the event, and to help steer future events with session and speaker topics. Additionally, we will be distributing a VMUG Advantage membership to one random person who fills out the survey.

 

The VMUG leadership team was very confident that we would have a good turnout, but we’re all very pleasantly surprised in just how popular it ended up being. In fact, we ended up running out of nearly all supplies – lanyards, programs, and badge protectors (fortunately a VMUG staff member was able to snag some more lanyards from HQ and the hotel printed extra programs for members).

 

Finally, congratulations to those who won at the vendor raffles and the the grand prize winner who will be attending Install, Configure, Manage on vSphere 5 courtesy of the Chicago VMUG!
