For the 5th consecutive year, we are awarding the Luminary accreditation to the brightest minds in the analytics economy. You can find the full class list here.
Handpicked for their impressive contributions to the Qlik ecosystem, the Class of 2018 represents a diverse group of analytics leaders, industry visionaries, and masterful developers. Some of them are brand new to the program, others are joining us for the fifth time. They are speakers, user group organizers, bloggers, tweeters, MVPs on Qilk Community, and so on. What they share is a passion for pushing the envelope with Qlik and sharing their expertise with others.
Throughout the year, the Luminaries will receive the full green carpet treatment including access to private product briefings, event perks, free training and product offers, and of course, highly coveted Luminary merchandise. They will also have an opportunity to share ideas and feedback with Qlik executives who directly oversee key parts of our product strategy.
This is an influential group of people so we highly recommend that you start following their work and chatter via #QlikLuminary on Twitter or check out some of their social media profiles and blogs listed below.
