Austin data community, this one looks worth attending. Databricks DevConnect Austin is happening on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at Qubika Office in Austin. It is a technical meetup built for data and AI practitioners who want real discussions, useful learning, and good community connection.
What I like is that the sessions are practical. They are covering Lakebase for agents and apps on lakehouse data, Genie and Knowledge Assistant for helping business users get answers faster, and MLflow for taking AI agents from experimentation to production. That is a strong lineup for people working in modern data engineering and AI workflows.
There is also time for networking, plus swag and post-event hands-on labs through Databricks Academy Labs. For anyone working in data engineering, analytics, AI apps, or lakehouse architecture, this looks like a solid evening to learn and connect.
