Splunk .conf is one of the best attended and most fun analytics conferences all year and we want to extend the excitement while getting even more Splunky.  So we are going on a ROAD TRIP!!! Check out our live dashboards here… Username “guest”, password “BigDataBeard”.

Check out our video explaining the whole idea:

Our idea is to grab a RV, setup some IoT sensors, build an edge computing environment, and pack up the Big Data Beard recording equipment for an epic road-trip across the country for the weeks leading up to .conf from Boston to Vegas.  We have partnered up with Dell, Red River Technologies, and Arrow Electronics to build this #IoTRV…not to mention they are each massive Splunk partners with great stories about how their work makes Splunk for IoT easy.

With the power of Splunk and our sponsors, we will capture data, discover trends, predict failures, and discover more exciting ways to use Splunk to drive value from machine generated data across the country.

BWTBEach day we will be starting with a new morning show called “Breakfast with The Beards.”  This will be streaming live on our YouTube channel, so be sure to check in!
