.conf25 is right around the corner, and whether you’re a first-time attendee or a seasoned Splunker, the Splunk Community is one of your best resources for making the most of your experience. Here are four ways to get prepared — with a little help from your peers. 1. Discover Your Learning Path .conf25 is packed with content — over 200 sessions across dozens of tracks. Not sure where to start? The Splunk Community Learning Paths help you focus on what matters most based on your role. Each path is built for a specific audience: Platform Admins looking to optimize deployments and drive value Security Pros staying ahead of threats with Splunk’s latest tools Developers building apps, integrations, and automations Observability Experts wrangling complex environments and driving performance 🔍 Start with the path that fits your role, then explore our role-specific community blog posts that break down must-see sessions. 👉 Explore Learning Paths 2. Get the Insider Perspective Want to hear what sessions other community members are excited about? Need help choosing between two can’t-miss workshops? The Splunk Community is full of people who’ve been to .conf before and are happy to share tips. Check the conf25 Slack channel, or jump into comments on our blog posts to hear what your peers are planning — 💬 Tap into real talk from real people who’ve been there. 👉 Join the Community Slack 3. Plan Smarter With Community-Curated Content We’re doing the homework so you don’t have to. Over the next four weeks, we’re highlighting .conf25 sessions from each of the four Learning Paths. They will include sessions not only specific to Learning Paths but also your Splunk experience level.  📅 New .Conf25 posts will drop every Tuesday from July through early September — so keep checking back! 4. Connect Before You Arrive Splunk Community isn’t just for event prep — it’s where the learning and networking continue long after the lights go down in Boston. But don’t wait until .conf25 starts — the conversation has already begun. Say hello in the Community Slack channels, or Answers forums for your Learning Path. Ask questions. Make a plan to meet up. Or just lurk — we won’t judge. 👋 This is your chance to find your people. Final Thoughts .conf25 is more than just an event — it’s your opportunity to grow your skills, meet your peers, and see what’s possible with Splunk. And with the Community by your side, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. Let’s get ready, together. Register Now   Still need approval to attend .conf25?

Hello Splunkers,   I’d like to introduce myself—I’m Ryan, the former AppDynamics Community Manager, and I’m excited to share that I’ve recently joined the Splunk Community team. Today, I have a big announcement that brings our communities together! What’s Changing? The AppDynamics Community has officially merged with the Splunk Community! With this change, you’ll find new content areas dedicated to AppDynamics within the Splunk Community.   New Key Areas  [Splunk AppDynamics Forums] – A dedicated space for discussions around AppDynamics products. [Splunk AppDynamics Technical Knowledge Base] – Access technical resources and best practices. AppDynamics Idea Exchange → Splunk Ideas – The AppDynamics Idea Exchange has officially been migrated over to Splunk Ideas and is now live! Changes for AppDynamics Community Members If you’re joining us from the AppDynamics Community, you’ll notice some differences in how discussions are structured. Moving forward, we will have a single forum with Labels to help categorize discussions. How do Labels work? Every new post will require at least one Label to be selected before submission Labels will allow you to filter and find relevant discussions easily We are working on an improved Labeling system, so expect enhancements in the coming months to give you more flexibility!   Having Trouble Finding Existing Content? We're excited that the migration is complete and AppDynamics content and members have their new home. One thing we're still working through is redirects. The key thing here is that we want people to be able to easily find content they may have had bookmarked, or content that was linked to on other AppDynamics websites. We're doing our best to get this resolved ASAP.  Having Trouble Logging In? If you were an AppDynamics Community member and are experiencing login issues: Ensure you have a Splunk Account—this is required to access the Splunk Community. Once your Splunk account is set up, try logging into the Splunk Community. Still having trouble? No worries! Email us at community_help@splunk.com, and we’ll assist you. Join the Slack Community Great news: AppDynamcis has a Slack channel! Head to the #appdynamics channel on our Splunk Community workspace for real-time collaboration.  Sign up for our Slack here. Welcome, New Community Members! For our existing Splunk Community members—get ready to welcome a wave of new peers! Over the coming weeks, many AppDynamics users will be joining us as they transition into our shared space. Let’s make them feel at home! We’re excited about this next chapter and look forward to growing and learning together. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out in the forums. Looking forward to engaging with you all, Ryan, Splunk Community Manager ... View more
