VMworld 2011 Session Voting Now Open!

Attention all VMware enthusiasts! The wait is finally over, as VMware has just opened the public voting for the VMworld 2011 sessions. This is your chance to have a say in what sessions you want to see at this year’s event, which takes place in both the US and EMEA regions.

With an impressive 854 sessions to choose from, it can be a bit overwhelming, but fear not! VMware has included a handy search application that enables you to focus on your particular areas of interest and find sessions that fit. This means you can easily sift through the vast selection and find the ones that are most relevant to your needs.

Personally, I haven’t submitted any sessions this year, but I do see a lot of familiar names in the voting application. It’s great to see so many talented individuals and organizations contributing to the VMworld community.

The voting period runs from May 9th to May 18th, and is open to anyone with a vmworld.com account. The best part? Your vote counts for both the US and EMEA events, as 80% of the selected sessions will occur at both events. This means you only need to vote once, and your selection will be considered for both events.

So, what are you waiting for? Head over to the VMworld session voting page and start casting your votes! With so many great sessions to choose from, it’s going to be tough to pick just one or two (or ten…). But don’t worry, you can vote on as many sessions as you like, and there’s no limit to how many times you can vote for your favorite sessions.

Some of the session submitters have done a fantastic job with titling their submissions, which certainly helps in identifying what sessions to vote on. A couple of sessions that caught my eye immediately include:

* “Go forth and vote! vNinja.net is the digital home of Christian Mohn and Stine Elise Larsen.” This one’s a no-brainer – who wouldn’t want to vote for a session with such an awesome title?

* “VMworld 2011 Sessions: A Look at the Future of Virtualization” – If you’re interested in what’s next for virtualization, this session is a must-see.

Of course, there are plenty more sessions to choose from, covering a wide range of topics and technologies. Whether you’re a seasoned VMware pro or just starting out, there’s something for everyone. So go ahead, cast your votes, and help shape the VMworld 2011 agenda!
