There are other .conf related articles that some of my colleagues have written - splunk education, developers and hackathon, SDN, Big Data Analytics for Beyond IT, Big Data… Read them and get organized. Seriously. We have a lot of sessions (over 130 of them) and it’s because we have a lot of customers who want to share their experience.
Come join the Splunk family next week. Speak to the Splunk team and learn what we’re thinking of for upcoming releases. We want to hear what you like and how we can improve. At .conf, apart from the sessions we have Splunk University, solution showcase booths, partner pavilions, Splunk4Good and just so much more. This is also a great opportunity to collaborate with your peers and learn how they are using Splunk in the most amazing ways that we hadn’t envisioned ourselves. And then, there is of course the Search Party on Tuesday!
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to be at one of the most amazing events we’ve ever hosted. We’re disrupting the Big Data world in an absolutely fantastic way. conf2013 at Vegas – it’s big this year folks! See you next week.
