tl;dr - SplunkTrust Nomination and Application Forms are open for the .conf23 cohort selection. Nominate a peer or apply yourself by May 5th, 2023.
The SplunkTrust are community or self-nominated individuals recognized annually that share a passion for helping their peers find success with Splunk by sharing their insights, experience, and domain-specific knowledge. We are so thankful of the generous community contributions made by members of the SplunkTrust.
Being chosen as a member of the SplunkTrust is not about how much Splunk you know; Splunk’s training and certifications already confirm a person’s Splunk knowledge. Instead, selection for the SplunkTrust program is about a person’s involvement in the Splunk community. Do you lead one of our global Splunk user groups? Are you one of the top contributors to our community website? Are you a respected presenter at our Splunk events? Are you an app builder on Splunkbase? These are some of the areas that members of the SplunkTrust regularly contribute to strengthen the Splunk community.
The first SplunkTrust cohort was inducted at .conf2015, and this year’s selection will be inducted at .conf23. Selected SplunkTrust members do not have to attend .conf23 to be part of the program, and existing members need to re-apply.
