How, you ask?
With hundreds of hands-on sessions and on-site experts at your disposal, thousands of fellow power users eager to exchange tricks of the trade, and exclusive educational opportunities. We sprinkle in a little (ok, a lot) of fun, too!
At .conf, you’ll learn how Splunk can help you make your organization more resilient. And have some fun while you’re at it.
