What the Program is About
The vExpert Program is about contributing to the community beyond your day job. The program is not focused on certifications or how much you know about the technology. Whether it’s blog articles, advocating VMware in your company, speaking sessions, book writing, code / script sharing or anything directly related to giving back to the community.
You can visit the vExpert Directory to see the 6 sub-programs and profile of each vExpert in each program.
All of theses vExperts have demonstrated significant contributions to the community and a willingness to share their expertise with others. These are highly technical vExperts who are experts in the topics they publicly share to the community. The vExpert award is not a technical certification, the award is based on sharing your knowledge from what you have learned along your IT career.
Thank you,
