Brian Gates, SVP of Industry Strategy at next-generation event platform RainFocus, is James Dickson's guest for the first Event Industry News podcast of 2025. Founded in 2013, RainFocus made a fast mark on heavyweight shows like Oracle CloudWorld, VMworld, Cisco Live, and it's gone on to have similar impact for the smallest events. Speaking live from Utah, Brian, who joined RainFocus nearly 10 years ago, details the company's journey from a data focus to all-encompassing event management. Brian looks at the platform's effect on marketing, highlighting key points in the customer journey, who's engaging and how, and refining the pathways/campaigns as a result. He goes on to discuss evolving the onboarding process, accommodating shrinking budgets, best practices, integrating tech stacks, leveraging data and, particularly poignantly, the AI potential.
This year, at the smallest VMware conference in many years, Broadcom made some important announcements. As we've previously discussed, VMware Cloud Foundation 9 was detailed, along with Tanzu Platform 10, an enhanced Edge Orchestrator platform, VeloCloud Software-Defined Edge, and more. Although we miss the community coming together at VMworld every year, this smaller VMware Explore conference is very much in line with the direction taken by Broadcom since their acquisition of the company.

Analyse van #VMware Explore US, waar Broadcom voor het eerst als eigenaar van VMware het podium pakt om aan klanten, partners, media en analisten de toekomst van VMware te presenteren. De belangrijkste aankondiging lijkt VCF 9 te zijn, al kunnen we meteen de vraag stellen: is dit wel een aankondiging? Er is enorm veel veranderd bij VMware, het ooit zo succesvolle VMworld is niet meer. VMware Explore onder Broadcom is een schimp van wat het event ooit was. Met een reden, Broadcom legt de focus op een veel kleinere groep klanten, iets waar veel klanten en partners nog aan moeten wennen. In deze podcastaflevering van #Techzine Talks bespreken we de aankondigingen, de stand van zaken rondom VMware, maar belangrijker nog de visie van #Broadcom voor VCF 9. Broadcom heeft gesteld dat VCF 9 het AWS voor on-premise moet worden. De vraag is nu of ze daar ook waar kunnen maken en of klanten daar ook op zitten te wachten? Meer in deze aflevering.

In this podcast, I interview Kit Colbert, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for the Cloud Platform Business Unit at VMware. In this role, Kit is responsible for driving technical strategy and innovation for the vSphere, VMware Cloud on AWS, and VMware Cloud on DellEMC product lines. Previously, Kit was GM of Cloud-Native Apps, CTO for End-User Computing, the Chief Architect and Principal Engineer for Workspace Portal, and the lead Management Architect for the vRealize Operations Suite. At the start of his career, he was the technical lead behind the creation, development, and delivery of the vMotion and Storage vMotion features in vSphere. Kit holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from Brown University and is a recognized thought leader on Cloud-Native, End-User Computing, and Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure trends. He speaks regularly at industry conferences, on the main stage at VMworld, and is the Hybrid Cloud voice for the VMware Office of the CTO. I got to know Kit while at VMware. Kit has always been someone that I had an easy time connecting with. He is technically very deep but is able to simplify concepts in order for others to understand. For me, this proved to be incredibly valuable when Kit and I talked about challenges that we were facing or working on opportunities to work together. Many of these brief conversations happened in the VMware gym while we were stretching and cooling down from a workout! The reason I wanted to have Kit on the show, other than that he is incredibly smart and very articulate, is that he has moved in and out of management. His experiences in doing this have been both energizing and exhausting. The lessons that have come from these experiences will be valuable to any technologist struggling with whether to go into management. I really hope you enjoy!

Last year at VMworld, we announced the VMware Horizon next-generation hybrid DaaS architecture. For us, “next-gen” represents a complete rewrite of the Horizon architecture that allows us to modernize every corner of the desktop and app virtualization infrastructure so many customers rely on, built entirely from the ground up. For customers, it means unprecedented scalability and cost optimization along with a dramatic simplification of the infrastructure required to deliver enterprise-class desktop and app virtualization. Earlier this year we launched a Limited Availability program for Horizon Cloud on Microsoft Azure customers, and today we're pleased to announce that Horizon Cloud next-gen is now Generally Available to all Horizon Cloud environments on Microsoft Azure!

Hey everybody, this is Chris Brandt here with a quick update on VMware's annual show.Before we get started, I just wanted to ask you to click on that subscribe button. That really helps the show grow, and lets us continue to bring you all this content and interviews with great guests.Last week I went to VMworld, or as it is now called VMware Explore. I have to say it was a bit of a disaster, but I will get into that in a bit.To start with, VMware Explore was held in San Francisco at the Moscone center. Not sure this was a great decision. They may have felt if they stay local, more companies will be interested in sponsoring, and exhibiting. For everyone not from the bay area, it was very expensive. Hotels were at a premium for sure. San Francisco is also dealing with a bit of a crime crisis at the moment, which has been getting a lot of news coverage. All of this, plus a lingering pandemic, a bunch of Monkey Pox, and an uncertain economy meant that this event wasn't as well attended as previous ones. Additionally, a lot of uncertainty about the Broadcom acquisition was expressed, and this may have played into the lower attendance as well.It was a dramatically smaller show. It reminded me of some of the regional events that they do. Vendors I talked with said that they had many good interactions, so maybe with less volume, you get a more interested crowd. I do know that this event used to sell out long before the show, but this year you could buy tickets at the door.The exhibit floor seemed to be less than half of what it was previously. The main focus was around storage, Horizon products and visibility solutions. The usual cohort of smaller vendors just wasn't there this year. I'm not sure if this speaks to market conditions, or an erosion of the VMware ecosystem.While the exhibit floor was lackluster, the sessions seemed to be buzzing with activity. I think the attendees were really focused on the education aspect of this show, and there were a lot of sessions for people to attend. The sessions I attended were good if not packed. I generally heard good feedback from people about their sessions.VMware had a handful of announcements. They doubled down on cloud, citing an IDC analysis that showed 400 percent growth in cloud native apps over the past 3 years from a total of 72 Million in 2019 to an estimated 310 Million cloud native apps today.Some of the big announcements were VMWare Image Builder which is a SaaS service that allows customers to package verify and publish across multiple Kubernetes providers, talking a lot of the manual work out of building for multiple platforms.They also expanded and improved the VMware Application Catalog with more integration with OpenShift, greater OS support, and a bunch of additions to the catalog.They also discussed how they are growing the VMware Marketplace as well, but not a ton of big flashy new stuff this year.My plan for this year's show was to meet with some of the vendors and get some interviews. I was able to interview O.J. Walanyk from Kenetik, but shortly after a quick interview with him, I put my microphones down and somebody walked off with them while I wasn't looking. They were brand new and that was the first time I used them. So, unfortunately, the recording was also lost when the mics were taken, but I did have some audio off the camera, so please excuse the crowd noise.Unfortunately, without the mics, it was a bit difficult to do any more interviews, but in all honesty, there weren't many new vendors to talk with.Thanks for watching, and If you want to support the channel, please subscribe, that is the best way to show your love.I will see you in the next one.
VMware's annual conference is taking place in San Francisco this week, and Stephen Foskett is on-site to cover the event for Gestalt IT. It's been a tumultuous event, the first from VMware since the pandemic, and it's returning with a new name and theme. VMware Explore is different from VMworld in many ways, not least for the focus on multi-cloud management and entierprise IT developers, but we're also trying to see the future, since the company will soon be purchased by Broadcom. Along with vSphere 8, which integrates Project Monterey, we're seeing a beefed-up Tanzu and a new reporting suite called Aria.

3 Takeaways:Nonpublic market information, like planned mergers and acquisitions and market strategies, are now being specifically targeted by cybercriminals as high value targets.Customers see cybersecurity as a competitive issue. They are increasingly investing in proactive security measures like DevSecOps and looking for greater collaboration with information security teams, operations teams and development teams to do security by design - to make it even more difficult for cyber exploits to happen.Promote your CISO to report directly to your CEO. They should have a separate security budget from the IT budget and should have veto authority over what the CIO does with regard to anything that would exacerbate the attack surface and allow for island hopping or destructive attacks to occur.Key Quotes: "When you want to get to true business and digital transformation, it's really inextricably linked to high-quality cyber protection, and the need for tight collaboration between all the teams that run these organizations is really critical.” - Jennifer"Cybercriminals are more likely to try and commandeer the digital transformation of the institution to use it against their constituency rather than just burglarize the institution as a whole. This shift is important because cybercriminals want to misuse the trust in the company, in the brand, to attack the company's constituency.” - Tom"Cyber teams need almost a blank check to keep pace with how frequent and fast the pace of change is with criminals and how sophisticated and differing their various approaches to exploits are.” - Jennifer“This is a dramatic governance issue in this sector when you have your CSO reporting to your CIO, because from an American football perspective, it's like having your defensive coordinator report to your offensive coordinator. It's upside down.” - Tom“This level of investment funding, the level of intensity of focus from the cyber teams, all the way up to the CEO, is likely going to be something permanent. And I think there are lots of investments that teams can do to outfit themselves better with the kinds of technology they need to be able to do behavioral analytics or threat hunting with. I don't see a time where cybercriminals are like, ‘ah, you got me. There's no money left in this.'” - Jennifer--LinksJennifer Manry LinkedInTom Kellermann LinkedInTom Kellermann Twitter--About the HostsMatthew O'Neill is a husband, dad, geek and Industry Managing Director, Advanced Technology Group in the Office of the CTO at VMware.You can find Matthew on LinkedIn and Twitter.Brian Hayes is an audiophile, dad, builder of sheds, maker of mirth, world traveller and EMEA Financial Services Industry Lead at VMware.You can find Brian on LinkedIn.
