The conference originally set for August 30 through September 3 in San Francisco and November in Barcelona, Spain will now take place only as an online event during the week of September 28, the company has announced after closely monitoring the global pandemic.

“Each year we look forward to hosting our customers, partners and employees from around the world at our premiere VMworld events for industry perspective, education and networking with peers,” VMware COO Sanjay Poonen said in a statement.

“While we are disappointed that we will not be together in-person with our community this year, we are excited to host VMworld as a global digital experience.”

VMware said it’s still busy developing the new programme to provide its partners and customers the perspectives of VMware executives, new product developments and quality educational opportunities.
