The VMworld Sessions have been announced and as always I wanted to list a couple which I felt are worth calling out. In the past I’ve heard people complaining that sessions were not technical enough or not exciting. I have listed all sessions which I will add to my schedule as soon as I can as I know they will solid technical sessions and they are hosted by great presenters! Note that any sessions containing “futures” are not showing up yet. As soon as they will show up I will update this list.

**EDIT: 3/August, added 1 new session**
