All VCP’s qualify for a VMware Europe 2009 Discount
If you are VCP already you probably got this email message in your inbox, but perhaps your email has changed sinced you got your VCP – and so it went under your radar. If you are VCP you qualify for €650 discount on the event – despite the fact that the early-bird discount period has ended. Here’s the content of that email that explains all:
Hello VCP,
In 7 weeks time the 2nd VMworld in Europe will be opening its doors! The early bird special offer is not available anymore, but like last year, we always take care of our VMware Certified Professionals with a permanent special offer. When you register with your VCP number, we will always give you a special VCP discount price of €650. In case you have lost your VCP number, I have looked it up for you : Your VCP ID is: VCPXXXXXX
This year we will offer even more hands-on labs at the event, where you can get your hands on the latest technologies. To create even more capacity all the labs will be self-paced, so you can come when ever you like and how often you like! We will provide terminals where you can sit down and work through these labs, but we will also allow you to connect with your own laptop. When you bring your own laptop there is even less chance of waiting in line. (Do make sure you run windows on your laptop, we will provide the VDI environment to connect to).
We have made a short promo video about the hands-on labs @ VMworld that you can watch on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVMxrVuaxLI
Besides the hands-on labs, we will again have an extremely exciting solution exchange with more then 100 vendors showcasing their virtualization technologies. This will be THE place to find out what is going on in our exciting virtualization industry!
There will be around 150 unique breakout sessions to make sure you can keep your virtualization skills up-to-date. From deep technical sessions about the latest technologies like VMware Fault Tolerant, VMmark, Distributed Virtual Switches and much more to real world practical sessions on how to best implement key applications in your environment.
In the following weeks we will post more promotion sessions on YouTube about what will be going on during the event. If you want to stay up-to-date subscribe to our YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/VMW0RLD. Part of the breakout session list will soon be posted on the vmworld.com website. Watch this space!
Hope to see you all in Cannes

[...] If you’ve never been to one of these events and work in a technical capacity I would heartily recommend it,with the current financial climate and awful GBP/EUR exchange rate it’s harder than ever to convince your employer to send you or to find the cash yourself, if it helps – this is a previous article I wrote about this sort of event and the benefit you’ll get from it. If you’re a VCP you also qualify for a significant discount as Mike has already covered here [...]

What about discount just for the subscription to have access to the labs without attending vmworld?

How about this. Half-price to attended the event virtually, with live streaming of all the sessions. The labs often are quite complicated, and they will have 4-5 lab guys to assist and help out – so doing them remotely would be very tricky I think.
I’m sure VMware would never allow the event to be fully virtual, because they would be afraid that less people would come physically… But I think that would be untrue. We all know that conferrences are as much as meeting, greeting and networking – I would still attended a physical event. Not least to attend the great VizionCore parties!!! Hey, by the way VizionCore where’s my invite???
