We're counting down to VMworld 2010! This is an exciting conference for Symantec to be part of this year, as we'll be unveiling some exciting new technology that extends VWare vCenter to provide application-level awareness and control for a wide range of mission-critical applications.

We've got lots of technical sessions to share information with our community, as well as a booth where you can drop by and see our products live in action and talk with product experts about the challenges of availability, storage, data protection, and security that virtualization addresses. We want to hear your stories as well, and find out what you're doing. Of course, a technology conference doesn't have to be all about technology, so we're throwing a party for our customers, have a game show planned, and of course will be giving away lots of cool prizes.

Here are just a few of the sessions, events and activities where you'll be sure to find us.
