VMware vExpert Program
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. VMware will provide you with a unique vExpert id that will allow insights into analytics to help understand customer trends to assist you and keep your advocacy activities on track.
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 activities from the previous year as well as the current year's 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.
If you are interested in becoming a vExpert the criteria is simple. We are looking for IT Professionals who are giving back to the community and go above and beyond their day job. Here is a short list of the things we look for while voting on the applications: 2015 blog posts on virtualization, magazine articles, CloudCred task writing, book authors, sharing personal scripts, helping community members in forums, public speaking, how to videos and so on. If you have questions around this please feel free to email us at vexpert@vmware.com.
Applications for the 2016 program are now closed and will re-open mid to late May 2016. Please read the announcement athttp://blogs.vmware.com/vmtn/2016/02/vexpert-2016-award-announcement If you have any questions, please email vexpert@vmware.com.
