Frequently asked questions

General information

.conf (yes, named after the file) is Splunk's flagship user conference. It’s the most anticipated event of the year created specifically for those who know, use, and love Splunk. 

 

Efficiency is the priority. Our goal is for you to become an expert in leveraging Splunk products in order to advance your career. We’ll teach you how to detect faster, and work safer and smarter, keeping your organization connected and protected in this volatile AI era. 

 

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.

 

What does that really mean?

 

  • Get inspired by experts and dive into industry trends.
  • Roll up your sleeves and experiment with Splunk products during interactive learning sessions.
  • Share your unique Splunk product challenges and get help solving them from Splunk pros and our enthusiastic community of practitioners.

  • Discover all the services available to you as a Splunk user or customer.
  • Catch up with other builders and developers to discover how they’re solving their most critical business problems using Splunk products.
  • See Splunk technology in action during breakout sessions or in the source=*Pavilion.
  • Check in with Splunk partners who are providing complex integrations.
