# Conference and training from the perspective of a new Splunk user

I had the chance to attend the **Power User Bootcamp** training at the Splunk .conf18 conference in Orlando. It was a real experience — both in terms of how such a massive event was organised, the breadth of topics covered, and the opportunity to get information straight "from the source." During the **training** we had about 10 people available to help us better understand the material and give us a hand whenever we got stuck on an exercise. For any out-of-session questions, if they couldn't answer themselves they referred us directly to the colleague who specialises in that area. **Great** approach.

The conference covered a huge range of topics. Not just cybersecurity — I shouldn't forget **financial** crime. **IoT** owners and people responsible for **operations** were well catered for too. The volume of talks was incredible and there was no way to catch everything. Even so, you come away with **plenty** of impressions and information that you'll hopefully manage to put into practice before next year. Looking back, you realise that Splunk really is a **universal** tool — which can't be said for its competitors.

Hopefully next year it'll work out to go to Vegas for .conf19.
