Veeam Vanguard 2025 – Year 8!
When I look back at my time in the Veeam Vanguard program, it is hard to believe that I have been part of one of the best evangelism programs for eight years. It is truly an honour to be part of such an amazing program with amazing people. You know it will be a great year when you receive an email stating you have been accepted or renewed for another year.
The program began in 2015, just after VeeamON 2017 in New Orleans, and I started my journey in the Veeam world and this great program. I want to thank Veeam, the Veeam Vanguard Program, Rick Vanover, Nikola Pejková, Madalina Cristil, Safiya Mohamed, and fellow 2025 Veeam Vanguards who make this program the best!
As a member of the Vanguard program, the following benefits are provided to each of the members:
- Access to Veeam Product teams
- A forum to provide feedback and perspective
- Sharing of unique perspectives in the industry and exclusive networking opportunities
- NFR licenses for all Veeam products.
- Access to pre-releases and betas.
- Exclusive access to Veeam Forums and Support.
- Exclusive access to Veeam events like VeeamON.
On top of the Vanguard program, Veeam also offers Veeam Certification (VMCE—Veeam Certified Engineer & VMCA—Veeam Certified Architect). Additional information about the training can be found here. Veeam also offers another program that you can participate in on the Veeam Community called the Veeam Legends Program, and more information about it can be found here. I am happy to say I am also a part of this great program.
If you have the opportunity, I suggest attending the VeeamON 2025 event this year in San Diego, California. There, you can meet many great people in the Veeam Vanguard/Legends/MVP program.
