Hello, Splunk Community! We are beyond thrilled to announce our newest group of SplunkTrust members!  The goal of the SplunkTrust™ program is not to recognize users in the room who know the most about Splunk. Rather, the SplunkTrust program was created to acknowledge and recognize those who go above and beyond to help their fellow Splunk practitioners and who have truly helped shape this wonderful, vibrant community.  This is an honor that represents a recognition by peers that the person embodies the hallmarks of the program — being helpful, technical, knowledgeable, and readily available. And it comes with perks, too! SplunkTrust members receive the coveted Splunk Fez with membership pin, Splunk EDU credits, and a free pass to .conf24. Splunk inducts the cohort of SplunkTrust members annually at .conf, which will be happening June 11 - 14 in Las Vegas this year. We’ll be welcoming four new SplunkTrust members, and welcoming back 48 returning members from our previous SplunkTrust selection. And so, without further ado, we are so excited to announce our .conf24 SplunkTrust cohort: New 2024 SplunkTrust Members Chris Barrett Bryan Beaulieu Sekar Sundaram Trayton White Returning SplunkTrust Members Brett Adams Ryan Adler Gareth Anderson Michael Bentley Steven Bochniewicz Mika Borner Antony Bowesman Becky Burwell Suat Celikok Siddhartha Chakraborty Mary Cordova Aleem Cummins Giuseppe Cusello Johannes Effland Mhike Funderburk Sanjay Reddy Gaddam Björn Hansen Vatsal Jagani Chris Kaye Steve Koelpin Tom Kopchak Sebastian Kramp Mariusz Kruk Charles Kuykendall Yuan Liu Rich Mahlerwein Mark McCullough Nick Mealy Madison Moss Martin Müller Cary Petterborg James Sevener David Shpritz Diogo Silva Kyle Smith Ismo Soutamo Daniel Spavin Keara Spoor Balaji Thambisetty Matt Uebel Kamlesh Vaghela Dominique Vocat Duane Waddle Colby Williams Tom Wise Yutaka Yamada Srikanth Yarlagadda Chris Younger And a huge congrats (and thank you!) to our incredible honorary SplunkTrust members as well!
