Splunk Global Partner Awards

We may have missed the opportunity to meet face-to-face at Global Partner Summit, but it’s not too late to recognize and announce the winners of Splunk’s 2020 Global Partner Awards. And, let’s be honest, this has been a tough year so far, and we could all use a reason to celebrate together.

You are invited to join us on October 7th, to celebrate YOU! We want to thank each of you for your contribution to our business and most importantly for driving positive outcomes for our customers. In addition to announcing the winners of the 2020 Global Partner Awards, we have some special guests and important business updates to share. And we promise, this won’t be your regular virtual meeting.

You’ll hear from Bill Hustad, our new VP, Global GTM Partners, who will share his insights on Splunk’s partner strategy. Splunk CEO Doug Merritt, is excited to personally thank you for your contribution, and provide updates on Splunk’s vision, strategy and recent successes. Christian Smith, SVP Global Sales, will share the latest on Splunk’s GTM and how you can continue to team with Splunk on our cloud first initiatives. And, we’re excited to have Steve Kerr, head coach of the Golden State Warriors of the NBA, join us to talk about his leadership values and the importance of winning together.
