Virtual Design Master Live at Interop

As we wind up to the final planning days for Virtual Design Master at Interop, it is getting very exciting to see all of the planning come together.  Not only are we going to be running our vDM Live from the Expo Floor in booth 1007 in Las Vegas, but we will be featuring additional community presentations from the venue and streamed live online!

Fun Prizes and a Welcome Back to Chris Wahl

We are especially excited to have have Chris Wahl of WahlNetwork.com rejoining the Virtual Design Master team as a panel judge for the vDM Live at Interop.  Chris was a part of our premiere vDM event in season 1 and has been a great supporter of our community.

The quick challenges will be exciting, and this gives an opportunity for participants to show their networking chops to the Virtual Design Master community.
