Showpad is the sales enablement conference to attend, with industry specialists discussing the growing need for a sales enablement function within a business as well as the latest trends and best practises. Sales enablement is charged with bringing together Sales, Marketing, Training and in my case Pre-Sales to deliver a single clear, concise and compelling way of engaging and helping our customers.
Below you will find my doodles from the first day of the conference. I’ve been really impressed with how Showpad has grown in the last few years and I look forward to reigniting ComputerWorld’s use of Showpad to help our employees best engage with our customers.
VMworld is taking place in San Francisco, California this week, here are my thoughts from Mondays general session by VMware’s CEO Pat Gelsinger and COO Sanjay Poonen.
The initial general session of VMworld 2019 was used to further build upon the delivery of VMware’s vision of Any Cloud, Any Application, Any Device with Intrinsic Security. We saw big announcements and updates in terms of Any Cloud, Any Application, and Intrinsic Security but maybe short of details regarding the traditonal EUC business in the initial general session.

Today we saw three major announcements from Dell at Dell Technologies World which is taking place at the Venitian Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada. All of today’s announcements focused on their relationship with VMware under the heading "better together". Whilst VMware remains a separate company they are increasingly working closely with Dell On joint solutions. Michael Dell emphasised that this special relationship gives them key differentiation to the competition.
Please see my video covering these announcements and my doodles from the day below.
