vExpert Pro and vExpert 2021 applications – What is a vExpert Pro? What do we do?

Sun, 06 Jun 2021 17:27:05 +0000

Hi,

As the vExpert 2021 Second Half applications open on June 7th and close on July 9th (click here for the latest schedule), I’d like to talk about what a vExpert Pro is and how they can help new applicants with their vExpert application.

Members of the vExpert Pro program are there to support new applicants with their application, give them advise on anything they can do to improve, and mentor new vExperts in their local communities.

I’m a vExpert now!

Hi everyone,

I applied for the second-half vExpert applications and I got accepted!

This is the first time and I’m really, really happy! This is my fourth attempt and here is to hopefully more years of vExpert.

Here is my public profile page.

If you don’t know what vExpert is, you are missing out on a lot, quoting from the site:
“The VMware vExpert program is VMware’s global evangelism and advocacy program. The program is designed to put VMware’s marketing resources towards your advocacy efforts. Promotion of your articles, exposure at our global events, co-op advertising, traffic analysis, and early access to beta programs and VMware’s roadmap. The awards are for individuals, not companies, and last for one year. Employees of both customers and partners can receive the awards. In the application, we consider various community activities from the previous year as well as the current year’s (only for 2nd half applications) activities in determining who gets awards. We look to see that not only were you active but are still active in the path you chose to apply for.”

Hi everyone,

EDIT: The vExpert 2020 first half applications are now closed!

~~Don’t forget to apply for vExpert if you haven’t already! According to Twitter, the closing date has moved to 1/13 at 10 AM MT.~~

Apply here with your blog posts, VMUG events, other events, talks, and much more. There are also more paths, like customer path, VCDX path and more!

Be sure to give it a go, I have too! On my Twitter, I replied to VMware’s tweet saying that I applied as well, and that I’ve applied again and that hopefully third time’s a charm. Well, to my surprise, one of the VMware people replied to me:
