San Diego here I come

I am headed to San Diego today for VMware Partner Exchange 2008. It should be another great week of learning and networking. I am looking forward most to the hands on labs for Site Recovery Manager, ESXi, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, and Lab Manager. There is also separate technical solution tracks for beginner, intermediate, and advanced breakout sessions. The exhibit pavillion, called the VMware Experience, sounds interesting too. Quoting the event website:
“Experience a whole new type of exhibit pavilion!
Modeled after VMware’s campus headquarters which allows for “casual collisions,” VMware Experience is an open environment that fosters collaboration among the attendees. With 2 large lounges with hotspots, easy access to our OEM and Alliance Partners, several coffee and beverage stations, this “town-square” type set-up allows you to enhance your experience and the connections you make!“
I’ve never been to San Diego, but I hear it is one the most scenic cities to visit. I am taking my camera, and will hopefully have some time to do a few things. I was told by a friend that Driving the Pacific Coast Highway north from San Diego sounds like a can’t miss opportunity. Unfortunately, the Padres are on the road (a three game series in Atlanta!). Whale watching season ended in March, but daily 1 hour harbor cruises sound like a great way to see and learn a lot about San Diego.
As Usual, VMware has planned a Partner Appreciation Party that looks like a lot of fun for Weds night.
I’m sure I will create a several posts from this event, but I can’t promise they will appear this week. I am starting a series to link all realted event posts together, so look for more over the next week or so.
