This year's .conf was extra-special as we finally got the chance to see one another in person again for the first time since 2019! It felt like a family reunion of people who haven't seen each other in three or more years. And, at this hybrid event, whether you were able to attend in Las Vegas in person or virtually online, the Splunk community presence was strong.
The Community Hub became the main spot for people to hang out, connect, see old friends, and meet new people with a ton of social energy bursting throughout the space. Members of the Community Team staff and the SplunkTrust were there to welcome you, share learnings about what the community has to offer, joke around, give out hugs and swag, and even help folks with technical questions about using Splunk at "Ask the Experts" - right on the spot. Our core community programs really came to life: Splunk Answers, SplunkTrust, and User Groups. We had our first ever UG training in person and the new Southern Utah User Group was started, too! Many of you there also became new users of Splunk Answers and joined the Community Slack channel, too!
The Community sessions garnered great attendance, as well as the 25 SplunkTrust breakout sessions that were geared toward people using Splunk every day. If you missed them, no worries, just click those links (and make sure you're signed in first)!
BSides Splunk was thrilled to have a stage to share some of their past talks over the last three years. Attendees were mesmerized by previous speaker Ryan Wood, once again, and had the amazing opportunity to experience Jonathan Wagner's passion, a first-time speaker for BSides Splunk.
The icing on the cake? Watching Snoop Dogg perform both DJ'ing and singing at the Search Party. The SplunkTrust and Community team watched the show from the VIP tent with Splunk founders Rob Das and Erik Swan. It was also quite a treat to watch Adam Savage (of Mythbusters fame) speak at the closing keynote. Woohoo!
