Splunk .conf19

Over 14,000 guests attended Splunk’s annual conference at the Venetian and Sands Expo Convention Center in Las Vegas. Over the course of four days, .conf19 offered attendees more than 400 technical sessions, keynotes, networking opportunities, a welcome soiree, Splunk’s Hall Crawl where guests could sample foods and drinks throughout the show floor, and a customer appreciation search party event to enjoy. The event also featured several new releases of Splunk products like the Splunk Cloud and managed to raise $100,000 in charitable giving. Brown Pelican WiFi installed a custom temporary network to provide a secure WiFi connection to production staff, the show floor for elements and live demos, a hackathon and Splunk University. The short installation timeline paired with multiple locations in the event space required a precise plan which was accomplished with 100% network reliability.
