Congratulations to the 2017 Splunk Revolution Award Winners!

Splunk customers, partners and employees gathered tonight in Washington, D.C. to kick off Day Zero of .conf2017 and celebrate this year’s Revolution Awards winners. The annual Splunk Revolution Awards, which recognize truly spectacular achievements from customers and partners from around the world and across multiple categories, were announced to the crowd in the Community Theatre located in the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.

Splunk CEO Doug Merritt announced the winners along with the new class of SplunkTrust members. This is the third year of the SplunkTrust program, which honors the most helpful members of the Splunk Community. Tonight, 42 members were recognized and each of the new members were given their fezzes and pins—read more about it in this blog post from Eric Grant, "The SplunkTrust 2018 in All Its Fezzed Glory."

Each award winner received a Revolution Awards trophy, a $200 gift certificate to the Splunk Store, and VIP treatment at .conf2017.

And now, to share the winners.
