Agenda :

The agenda is live and there are a lot of technical sessions that are not just marketing fluff.  VMUG and VMware takes attendee feedback from previous events to make sure the content that is being presented is what attendees are asking for,

VMUG Service Project :

This year the St Louis VMUG leaders decided to give back to the local community.  We are asking attendees to bring non perishable food items.  Attendees that bring a non perishable food item will receive a ticket and a chance to win a 4K Roku.  All food will be donated to the Collinsville Il Food Pantry.  A list of food they are in need of is on their website.

Sponsors :

The event does not happen without great support from vendors.  Here is not final list of some of the vendors that will be at the event.  Please be sure to thank them for their support.
