Summer School is the Vibe: Join Us for Splunk University in Las Vegas

I’m sure we can all remember back to the days when the thought of having to take summer school classes would be just the motivation needed to get heads-down on that last school paper or study longer for the final exam. Back then, going to summer school was not cool.

Splunk University is the Cool Summer School 

While a ton has changed since I attended high school and university, one thing hasn’t changed — the value of learning. And learning Splunk offers so many opportunities to grow your career and help your organization become more resilient and more prepared. This is why I’m excited about Splunk University, which is coming to Las Vegas between June 9-11, 2024 — just two days prior to our annual user conference, .conf24. As someone deeply passionate about learning, growth, and development, this event is another step in the direction of tackling our increasingly-complex digital world.

Influencing a Shift in the Cybersecurity Landscape

At Splunk University, it’s not just about delivering educational content; it's about bridging the skills gap in cybersecurity and helping organizations navigate the rapidly evolving security landscape. I’m constantly inspired when I learn about the profound impact this event has on individuals' careers and how being proficient in Splunk has the capacity to positively shift the broader cybersecurity landscape.

In-Person, Hands-on Bootcamps

Students who attend Splunk University not only gain technical skills using Splunk, but also cultivate a deep understanding of how data and security intersect in today's rapidly evolving digital world. The experience combines in-person, hands-on bootcamp-style learning and workshops with networking opportunities – appropriate and fulfilling for all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced user, we have sessions designed to meet your needs.

Validating Those Skills
