DAIS 2026 brought a wave of new faces to the Databricks Community. If you just joined, welcome. This post is for you: what just happened, what Community is, and what you can do here.
📍 What just happened
The booth did its job.
For four days at DAIS 2026, the Databricks Community booth lived in the Learning & Enablement Hub at Moscone West, Level 2. People came up the escalators, scanned the QR codes, said hi at the welcome wall, and signed up. A lot of them.

Thank you to every volunteer who walked an attendee through the registration, every Champion and Fellow who said hi at the booth, and everyone who scanned a QR code. The number is real because you showed up.
