Qlik Luminary Program

The Qlik Luminary Program celebrates the brightest beacons from across the Qlik and Talend global ecosystem. Luminaries represent our top customer advocates and counselors who are driving measurable impacts from data – and then broadly sharing those outcomes with others. With passion, expertise, and commitment, Qlik Luminaries champion the vision of transforming data into business transformations.

Being a Qlik Luminary isn’t just about business transformations. Qlik Luminaries are constantly pushing the envelope, finding new and innovative ways to use Qlik and Talend for the greater good.

Qlik Luminaries are chosen based on customer submission and are accredited for a calendar year based on their previous year’s contributions.
