how confident are we that Explore Barcelona will take place? the event is just a week after the acquisition closes, and it seems inappropriate that any VMware executives would still be on stage- but yet no one from BC is slated to be there.
wondering because a large part of my job is focused on this event and we are scheduling meetings with executives that might not take place.... thoughts? would BC cancel this event with a few thousand already registered?

Seems like every executive meeting in Barcelona will be with Hok Tan. Our executives will have taken their golden parachute and kissed VMware Adios.
Hok said it's a go.
I would not question it.
Customers are leaving, numbers are going down. We need to cut cost.
The productivity is down...
Not much of a surprise considering the market situation plus the mediocre Las Vegas Explore
Were were going but been advised numbers are being reduced as customer numbers are down so people are getting cut to reduce expenses
Event is confirmed, but scheduling a meeting with VMW execs will be ____ if the exec does not join BC.
Will be interesting to watch who will do the keynotes and what the actual content will be. Will Hock invite Nvidia on stage?
Event won’t cancel, but many people won’t be allowed to travel to control the cost
Hok Tan himself posted on linkedIN, Explore 2024 is on... take it with a grain of salt but really there was no need for him to post something like that publicly
The event is not going to be cancel, 0 chance
