VMware Explore 2027
by Broadcom
Broadcom's private-cloud and agentic-AI conference, moved to spring at Resorts World
About This Event
VMware Explore 2027 runs 3-6 May 2027 at Resorts World Las Vegas — a double change from the 2026 edition, which ran 31 August to 3 September at the Venetian Convention and Expo Center. Broadcom announced both the new venue and the move to a spring slot during the 2026 plenary session, and pre-registration is already open. Explore is Broadcom's flagship event for the IT practitioners who run VMware private-cloud estates: the 2026 plenary framed the agenda around three themes — scaling AI cost-effectively, operating more securely, and innovating rapidly in the age of agentic AI — and day one alone carried 118 sessions across four content tracks. Registering before 30 September 2026 saves $100 on the 2027 Full Event Pass.

Why Attend
If your estate runs on VMware Cloud Foundation, this is the single event where Broadcom states its roadmap and private-cloud AI strategy directly to the people who operate it. A CIO or platform lead gets four days to pressure-test migration, consolidation and renewal decisions with Broadcom engineering in the room, compare notes with peers making the same platform calls, and see how agentic AI is actually being landed on private infrastructure rather than in a public-cloud demo. The move to early May also resets the planning cycle: the roadmap lands before mid-year budget conversations instead of after them.
Event Features
- ✓Four content tracks — 118 sessions ran across them on day one of the 2026 edition
- ✓Broadcom leadership plenary keynote; the 2026 edition covered scaling AI cost-effectively, operating more securely, and innovating in the age of agentic AI
- ✓New venue for 2027: Resorts World Las Vegas, moving from the Venetian Convention and Expo Center
- ✓New spring dates, 3-6 May 2027, replacing the traditional late-summer slot
- ✓Pre-registration open now, with a $100 Full Event Pass discount for registrations completed by 30 September 2026
What Makes This Unique
- ★Moves to a spring slot for the first time — 3-6 May 2027 instead of the traditional late-August/early-September window — and changes venue from the Venetian Convention and Expo Center to Resorts World Las Vegas.
- ★The one event where Broadcom sets VMware roadmap direction directly for private-cloud operators, rather than a partner-run or community conference speaking about the platform second-hand.
- ★The 2026 plenary put agentic AI on private cloud at the centre of the agenda alongside cost-effective AI scaling and security operations, so the AI content is platform-level rather than a bolt-on track.
- ★Scale of technical content: 118 sessions ran across four content tracks on day one of the 2026 edition alone.
- ★Pre-registration is open more than seven months out, with a $100 Full Event Pass discount for early commitment — unusual lead time for an event of this size.
