## Viva La Barcelona

This Year thanks to the company I work for I was able to attend VMworld 2014 in Barcelona. I arrived to Barcelona Yesterday with my colleague and I was welcomed by gorgeous weather (+25 Celsius) and really nice hotel **Hotel Expo Barcelona**.

## My expectations from VMworld 2014

Besides sessions I will focus on speaking with vendors about latest trends in IT, I will definitely meet vExperts and VCDX. I will skip Hands on Labs because later on all of them will be available online and this is waste of valuable time.

Besides that I will go to three different parties.

  * Monday 13.10.2014 - PernixData Party
  * Tuesday 14.10.2014 - Veeam Party
  * Wednesday 15.10.2014 - VMworld Party

In case you would like to see all parties here is the link http://www.vmworld.com/community/gatherings/
