Splunk's Black employee resource group–BEAMs–presents The Drop. Join us to experience a live expression of what we mean by redefining the Black enterprise. We’ll have food, drinks, and music, a panel discussion with distinguished guests, and exclusive BHM merch.
Come prepared to be inspired by the message and leave with fly gear and concrete ways to elevate our community.
Splunk’s Black History Month for 2020 (BHM 2020) celebrates the Black enterprise. As defined, ‘enterprise’ comprises two definitions: one of a difficult undertaking requiring effort and the other as initiative and resourcefulness. Both of these definitions help frame our approach to BHM 2020 at Splunk, where we've created programming across Splunk's US offices to explore how the enterprising nature of Black Americans has functioned not only to fulfill our individual lives, but also that of our community and the world at large. We endeavor to highlight just a sliver of this rich history during this month in order to excite, challenge, and bring the Splunk community together in new ways.
