After my previous post, looking through the VMworld US 2011 Session Content Breakdown, I’ve done the same for the VMworld European conference.

There are 116 Breakout Sessions, 3 Panel Sessions & 23 Hands-on Labs.

As a summary it looks like there are a lot more sessions presented by VMware employees:

Panel Sessions

Looking at the 3 Panel Sessions, there are a total of 11 panel members.

• 6 are VMware employees
• 5 are from other companies
  • 1 panel member: Independence Blue Cross, TUV Rheinland Japan, Hopwood Hall College, Drenthe College, New College Durham

Breakout Sessions

For the 116 Breakout Sessions, there are a total of 177 listed speakers (not all sessions indicate who is speaking yet). Some speakers are presenting multiple sessions but I’m not deduping them as it still counts as a separate session.

• 141 speakers (80%) are VMware employees
• 36 speakers (20%) are from other companies.
• 88 sessions (76%) are presented solely by VMware employees.
• 1 session has 2 speakers from the same company (not including VMware)

The following companies other than VMware have speakers presenting:

• 5 speakers: EMC (5 sessions)
• 2 speakers (2 sessions): NetApp, SAP, Eurocontrol
• 2 speakers (1 session): IBM
• 1 speaker, Apprenda, Atlantis Computing, CBRE, Bluelock, Bull S.A.S., Cisco, Colt Technology Services Group, Computacenter, DER Deutsches Reisebüro GmbH & Co. OHG, FedEx, HP, Intel, Kingston Technology, Los Alamos National Laboratory, McAfee, Northwest Group, NYSE Technologues, RSA, Sourcefire, Telecommunications, TEVA, Train Signal, vcoportal, Vodafone
