VMworld 2012 Starts Next Week! [schedule]

As Kristen noted this morning, VMworld is nearly upon us, and we on #theCube team have made our final preparations, renders, notes, and most importantly, schedules for our third year of coverage at the event. We have a stellar lineup of guests this year, and the line-up is filled to the rafters with superstars.

We have incoming VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger on again this year, Cube Alum and Dell/Wyse head Tarkan Maner, HP’s Craig Nunes, and just wall-to-wall C-Level executives all week long.

You can tune in to the coverage on any SiliconANGLE property, or watch the high quality stream @ siliconangle.tv.
