"My first global VMUG event back in 2016. Brad, VMUG Executive Director, personally introduced me to the VMUG team and leaders from around the world, and I was blown away by how global the VMUG community really was.

What stayed with me the most was how welcoming everyone was, even though English isn't my first language. More than 10 years later, I'm still connected with many of those members, which means a lot to me."
