See the Splunk Platform in Action at .conf26

Platform Rinita Datta

Key takeaways

  1. Splunk .conf26 Attendees can explore over 100 Platform sessions and 20+ workshops covering AI operations, data foundations, and search across distributed environments.
  2. Real customers like UnitedHealth Group, Autodesk, and Asurion will share how they use Splunk for federated search, AI governance, and agentic workflows.
  3. A hands-on Build-a-thon lets attendees create custom AI agents in Splunk with no coding required, sponsored by Nvidia and AWS.

.conf26 is almost here, and we’re heading to Denver for four days of learning, connection, and hands-on exploration with the Splunk community.

We recently announced the general availability of new Splunk Platform innovations supporting Cisco Data Fabric. At .conf26, we are sharing more on how Splunk’s data platform transforms machine data into trusted agentic action. Today's leading organizations use Splunk to federate data, correlate at scale, and transform data for AI. Leveraging the Cisco Data Fabric architecture, Splunk analyzes data where it lives at lower cost, connects data in real time across domains, and makes machine data usable for model training and automated action.

It’s hard to overstate how monumental .conf25 was, when we first introduced the Cisco Data Fabric vision to the world. At .conf26, we’ll build on that momentum and give you the opportunity to explore what’s next in Platform innovation, see the vision continue to evolve, and discover how organizations are putting these capabilities to work.

Whether you’re a Splunk administrator, platform engineer, developer, architect, or data practitioner, the Platform experience is designed to help you get more from the data that powers your organization.

Find Your Platform Path

With more than 100 Platform and developer breakout sessions, 20+ workshops, customer-led sessions, panels, and technical deep dives, there are plenty of ways to build your .conf26 agenda.

Explore four Platform sub-tracks built around the challenges practitioners face every day:

Whether you’re looking to improve data onboarding, search across distributed environments, explore AI-assisted workflows, or extend Splunk to support new use cases, you’ll find practical ideas you can take home and put to work.

Hear Directly From Splunk Customers and Partners

You don’t have to take our word for it. Hear directly from Splunk customers and partners as they share how they’re using these innovations in their environments—and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

In Building Agentic Advantage with Your Data Foundation? PLA1416, UnitedHealth Group joins Cisco Innovation Labs, Wipro, and Splunk to discuss what enterprise data platforms need to deliver in the agentic era.

At Optimizing Federated Search for Amazon S3 at Scale PLA1451, Autodesk and Splunk share practical strategies for improving search latency, reducing cloud costs, and analyzing historical data where it lives.

In Teach It, Trust It, Control It PLA1377, Asurion and Splunk explore how to scale AI Assistant capabilities while maintaining organizational context, governance, and guardrails.

And in Agentic SOC in the Post Mythos Era — Perspectives from NVIDIA, AWS, Splunk PLA1454, Splunk, NVIDIA, and AWS discuss trusted data, governed telemetry, model choice, and resilient architectures for the agentic SOC.

These sessions – and so many more - offer a chance to learn from organizations navigating the same challenges you are—and to take away ideas grounded in real-world experience.

See the Splunk Platform in Action

Make time to visit the Splunk Pavilion, where you can get hands-on with a dozen Platform product demos, AI-focused experiences, and Cisco demonstrations.

Explore ways to scale agentic operations, use AI to assist everyday workflows, move toward more preventive operations, and connect Splunk with the broader AI ecosystem. Developers and builders can also stop by the Builder Bar to exchange ideas, get guidance, and explore what’s possible with Splunk.

Everyone can build agents at our first Splunk Build-a-thon, where participants will learn how to use Agent Launchpad to build and deploy custom agents in Splunk with no coding required. Come for the agent, lots of prizes, and good food and drinks. Sign up here. This event is sponsored by Nvidia and AWS.
