Global VMware User Groups

If you haven’t attended a VMUG yet then I thoroughly recommend you take a look to see where your nearest one is as they provide an excellent opportunity to learn more and network with your peers and vendors.

A full list of the global VMUG groups can be found on VMware’s web site here.
