Our members want content that will help them develop their business and technical acumen. We’re looking for sessions that address:
Each year we receive more submissions than we can accept. While there are some repeat presenters (only those top rated by attendees), we do seek to ensure the majority of our speakers and presentations are brand new for each event.
If you’re interested in applying, we need well-thought-out, complete, unique submissions. Content that is intermediate to advanced scores the best—this audience is well beyond entry-level definitions. And don’t shy away from lively discussion—this is a forum for industry collaboration, and debates and out-of-the-box thinking are appreciated. Challenge the audience with unconventional thinking.
Local Meetings, VMUG UserCons & VMUG Global Virtual Events
VMUG is continuously working to find creative ways to connect VMUG members to you the presenter! As we continue to consider the changing event environment, we are working to offer a wider range of events to our VMUG membership. VMUG wants to provide various learning opportunities, whether at the local level by providing content directly to local chapters, at our Global Virtual Events, or our in-person VMUG UserCons.
The VMUG Collective Blog is written by VMUG members for VMUG members. Posts cover a variety of topics, including technical overviews, reviews on the latest VMware upgrades and releases, forecasts and insight on the global tech industry, and more. If you’re interested in writing a blog post, a series of posts, or already have a post that you think would work well on the Collective, please submit it here.
There are two podcasts for VMUG members – VMUG Unfiltered and VMUG Collective Podcast. If you have a customer success story on VMware products you’d like to share, please submit your idea to VMUG Unfiltered. If you have an idea for an episode or series you believe would benefit the VMUG membership at large, please submit your idea to VMUG Collective Podcast.
VMUG TV is for any VMUG member who wants to upgrade their skillset, see product demos, or elevate their career. If you have an idea for video(s) in one of our existing series (Hello From My Home Lab, Hack Your Career, or C.O.R.E) or for an entire new VMUG TV series, submit it here.
It’s important to understand the type of content VMUG members are interested in. Below are the 9 content types and any related VMware products to help inform your content submissions.
