That’s right Pure is back at VMworld 2015 with a new an improved vExpert Storage Game Show. Get ready to have some fun!
Last year we went out on a limb in an attempt to introduce something new to the technical breakout sessions at VMworld. One that would bring the virtualization community together in a glorious mayhem-filled game show. A that’s exactly what we did – mixing fun with facts while overcoming a few presentation hurdles along the way!
The Game Format
This year’s game show will pit experts in a ‘feud’ attempting to answer the most common answers to survey questions. But here’s the catch – you supply the answers (see ‘we need your help’ below). Should a contestant correctly answer a question they will be asked to elaborate on their answer. Here’s the twist… points will be awarded for technical depth or creative wordplay.
The new and improved vExpert Storage Game Show (STO6327-SPO) is back for VMworld 2015, featuring Pure Storage CMO Jonathan Martin as host and leading industry experts. We’re packing a bold irreverent approach with upgraded and well known ‘feud’ game format!
