Hello Splunkers,

The first Lightning Talks were a hit. So we’re running it back.

Join us for the second edition of Splunk Community Champions Lightning Talks — a fast-paced virtual event featuring top tips, smart tricks, and real-world insights from our SplunkTrust and MVPs.

This is practitioner-to-practitioner knowledge sharing at its best.

And yes...we’re running it twice so our global community can join live.

When?

February 26, 2026

Pick the time that works best for you. Same great content. Global-friendly schedule.

What’s On the Agenda?

Our Splunk Community Champions are bringing practical sessions you can apply immediately:

  • Asset & Identity in Enterprise Security

  • How to Find and Fix Overdemanding Searches in Your Splunk Environment

  • Splunk Edge Processor 101

  • Edge/Ingest Processor Is Amazing (And Why You Should Use It)

  • Navigating OT Data Challenges: Edge Hub + AI Integration

Whether you’re focused on Security, Platform, Observability, or Edge — there’s something here for you.

A Global, Community-Led Event

This event is presented by members of the Splunk Champions Community — SplunkTrust and MVPs who are actively using Splunk every day.

Sessions will be simu-live depending on speaker availability. When speakers are available, they’ll be live in chat. And if not? You can always follow up afterward in #splunk-community-events on Slack.

Because the best part of these events isn’t just the content.

It’s the conversation.

What’s “Splunk Community HQ”?

You may see this event listed under the Splunk Community HQ chapter.

That’s simply our global “user group” that allows us to host virtual events for the entire Splunk User Group community.

If you haven’t joined your local User Group yet, now’s a good time. Head to usergroups.splunk.com, search your city, and connect with practitioners near you.

Why You Should Join

  • Learn directly from SplunkTrust and MVPs
  • Pick up practical techniques you can use immediately
  • Connect with practitioners from around the world
  • Be part of an active, global Splunk Community moment

This is one of those “easy yes” events.
