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.

Since you’re here …

… We’d like to tell you about our mission and how you can help us fulfill it. SiliconANGLE Media Inc.’s business model is based on the intrinsic value of the content, not advertising. Unlike many online publications, we don’t have a paywall or run banner advertising, because we want to keep our journalism open, without influence or the need to chase traffic.The journalism, reporting and commentary on SiliconANGLE — along with live, unscripted video from our Silicon Valley studio and globe-trotting video teams at theCUBE — take a lot of hard work, time and money. Keeping the quality high requires the support of sponsors who are aligned with our vision of ad-free journalism content.

If you like the reporting, video interviews and other ad-free content here, please take a moment to check out a sample of the video content supported by our sponsors, tweet your support, and keep coming back to SiliconANGLE.
