4 Ways the Splunk Community Helps You Prepare for .conf25

[iamryan]

.conf25 is right around the corner, and whether you’re a first-time attendee or a seasoned Splunker, the Splunk Community is one of your best resources for making the most of your experience.

Here are four ways to get prepared — with a little help from your peers.

1. Discover Your Learning Path

.conf25 is packed with content — over 200 sessions across dozens of tracks. Not sure where to start? The Splunk Community Learning Paths help you focus on what matters most based on your role.

Each path is built for a specific audience:

• Platform Admins looking to optimize deployments and drive value

• Security Pros staying ahead of threats with Splunk’s latest tools

• Developers building apps, integrations, and automations

• Observability Experts wrangling complex environments and driving performance

🔍 Start with the path that fits your role, then explore our role-specific community blog posts that break down must-see sessions.

2. Get the Insider Perspective

Want to hear what sessions other community members are excited about? Need help choosing between two can’t-miss workshops?

The Splunk Community is full of people who’ve been to .conf before and are happy to share tips. Check the conf25 Slack channel, or jump into comments on our blog posts to hear what your peers are planning —

3. Plan Smarter With Community-Curated Content

We’re doing the homework so you don’t have to.

Over the next four weeks, we’re highlighting .conf25 sessions from each of the four Learning Paths. They will include sessions not only specific to Learning Paths but also your Splunk experience level. 

📅 New .Conf25 posts will drop every Tuesday from July through early September — so keep checking back!

4. Connect Before You Arrive

Splunk Community isn’t just for event prep — it’s where the learning and networking continue long after the lights go down in Boston.

But don’t wait until .conf25 starts — the conversation has already begun.

Say hello in the Community Slack channels, or Answers forums for your Learning Path. Ask questions. Make a plan to meet up. Or just lurk — we won’t judge.

👋 This is your chance to find your people.

Final Thoughts

.conf25 is more than just an event — it’s your opportunity to grow your skills, meet your peers, and see what’s possible with Splunk. And with the Community by your side, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Let’s get ready, together.
