Who All Are Attending Data + AI Summit 2026 in San Francisco?

I am excited to share that I have completed my registration for Data + AI Summit this year, happening from June 15 to June 18 in San Francisco. I am attending, and I wanted to check who else from our Databricks Community is planning to be there.

For me, this summit is always more than just an event. It is one of the best places to learn what is really happening in data engineering, AI, analytics, governance, and lakehouse innovation. As data engineers, we usually spend a lot of time building pipelines, solving performance issues, improving reliability, and helping teams trust data. At the summit, we get to see how others are solving similar challenges at scale, what new product capabilities are coming, and how the future of data and AI is being shaped.

From my previous experience, one of the biggest values of the summit is the practical learning. It is not just about announcements. It is about real use cases, real architecture discussions, real engineering lessons, and direct interaction with people who are building on Databricks every day. I have always come back with new ideas, better perspectives, and stronger motivation to improve the way I design and deliver data solutions.

If you are thinking about attending, I strongly encourage you to register and join. It is a great opportunity to learn, connect, collaborate, and grow with the broader data and AI community. You will get exposure to new features, hands-on ideas, and industry direction that can genuinely help in your day-to-day work.

Would love to know who all are attending this year in SFO. Let’s connect, learn together, and make the most of the summit.

I used to go when they organized them on different continents.
And I agree DAI is the place to be.
But traveling to SF is too expensive (I think I am not alone here). So it will be youtube.
Not the same though 😞
If only there was a DAI closer by ...

Totally agree, DAI is the place to be.

Unfortunately, due to cost limitations, I’ll be joining online this year. Not the same experience, especially without the networking, but still a great opportunity to learn and keep up with what’s coming.

Hopefully we’ll see more regional editions in the future.

Absolutely @edonaire , even joining online is still a great way to learn and stay updated with all the latest announcements and ideas. I agree, the in-person networking has its own value, but the learning opportunity is still huge. Hoping we get more regional editions too, that would help many more community members participate.

Yeah @-werners-, Agree. Traveling to San Francisco can be expensive, and many good community members miss the in-person experience because of that. Still, following it through YouTube is a smart way to stay connected, and yes, it would be wonderful if we had more DAI editions closer to different regions in the future.
