I want to thank the entire Databricks team for conducting such a great learning event. The sessions were extremely detailed, well structured, and truly covered all the required topics in a very exhaustive and practical way. It was a really valuable experience.

I also want to thank the team for the certification voucher โ€“ I received mine through email today.

To everyone who participated and completed the challenge โ€“ if you havenโ€™t received your voucher yet, please donโ€™t worry. The event concluded on the 31st, and itโ€™s natural that it can take a little time for the team to generate and send vouchers to all eligible participants. It will come. Please have patience.

Letโ€™s keep learning and growing together!

Let me reiterate the mesage from earlier for those of you who have not seen it...

All, 

Please note that we have now completed distributing the vouchers for the November event. Please ensure to check the inbox of the email associated with your academy account. The subject of the email containing the voucher will be "Thank you for participating in Databricks Virtual Learning Festival!"

If you have not received the email, please check your spam folder in the first instance. If you still can't find the email, please directly message me with your email address so I can investigate this further.

Please refrain from tagging me in this post, as it makes it incredibly difficult to track actual issues.

As stated within the original post, this event is only open to users of Customer Academy.

Jim ๐Ÿ™‚
