Upcoming User Group Events! 👏

Check out these upcoming user group events in September and October. Most meetings are hybrid or virtual, and we're also hosting more in-person meetups. Join a user group today!

Upcoming User Group Events:

• Melbourne, Australia User Group (Hybrid) September 28 [RSVP] Spring Time Session! Our friends from Hashicorp are joining our community to chat about their awesome integration with Splunk. But don’t take our word for it, hear it directly from our joint customers and see what they do! (See RSVP page for more details about this event).
• Yorkshire Splunk User Group (Hybrid) September 29 [RSVP] "Dashboarding Wowzas!" with Tom West. This month's user group will be dedicated to Dashboard Studio. We're delighted to be joined by a special guest, Tom "Westy" West. Many of you will know him as the founding member of our group. Tom is also an everyday dashboard wizard and Splunk Trust member. Tom has updated his popular series of dashboarding talks for 2022, now focusing on Dashboard Studio. We have the honor of seeing the first outing of this particular talk since .conf22. (See RSVP page for more details about this event).
• Springfield, MO Splunk User Group (In-person) October 4 [RSVP] A Scenic Tour of Risk Based Alerting (RBA). We had so much fun with our afternoon stroll through SOAR last time, we've decided to go on a scenic tour of Risk Based Alerting (RBA). Our presenter will be Beth Young. Beth is a Senior Security Incident Response Consultant with Aflac, which is in the middle of moving to RBA. She will share her valuable lessons learned and insights. As usual, we will have a great lunch and Splunk SWAG! Hope to see you there.
• Sydney, Australia Splunk User Group (Hybrid) October 13 [RSVP] It's time for another round of shenanigans at the Sydney Splunk User Group! We'll be hosting this event at the Splunk Office in North Sydney, and we would love to see you there. But in case you can't make it in-person, don't worry we will also be broadcasting the event over Zoom.(See RSVP page for more details about this event).
• London Splunk User Group (Hybrid) October 13 [RSVP] After the success of the first in-person/hybrid event in June, the format will be the same. So if you want to come along in-person, it will be great to see you "again", otherwise join us through the wonders of technology (the joining link will be sent via email closer to the date). We are lucky to have one of the "big guns" from Splunk presenting for us, Darren Dance will be presenting on "Splunk Operator for Kubernetes".(See RSVP page for more details about this event).

Search the full list of User Groups to find meetups in all locations. As we shift into more in-person events and/or hybrid models, there are plenty of opportunities for you to join from across the globe!
