Make your learning plan before you land in Boston


.conf25 is almost here! If you’re planning to boost your skills, validate your expertise, or just explore Splunk’s many learning options, here’s what you should know before you go.

Earn a Certification — onsite and affordable

Take advantage of $25 certification exams available throughout the week in the onsite Testing Center (Room 206 AB, Level 2). Choose from multiple time slots (Mon–Thurs), and walk away with credentials that showcase your expertise.

Secure the exam times that work for your schedule, and the discount will be applied at checkout. You must be registered for .conf25 in order to qualify for this discount.

Visit the Education Pavilion

Stop by the Education Station for a relaxed way to explore Splunk learning options. You can even jump into “Flipping Fun” — a quick 7-second skit captured as an old-school flipbook you get to take home.

Join Spotlight Sessions & Events

  • Hands-on interactive workshops led by seasoned instructors, covering topics like Cloudtrail data exfiltration, SOAR threat intel, and machine learning for risk-based alerting.

  • The Yin and Yang of Splunk Proficiency: a lively 20-minute talk with Renée Asselin and Eric Fusilero on balancing big-picture vision with detail-oriented execution (Sept 10, 1:00 PM).

  • Bragging Rights Spotlight Event: a cocktail and networking hour (Sept 9, 4:30–5:30 PM) celebrating Splunk Certified attendees — meet peers, connect with execs, and get recognized for your achievements.

Plan ahead with the mobile app

Check the app for workshop times, certification slots, and Pavilion activities. A little prep goes a long way in making sure you don’t miss out.
