Monthly Recap • June 2026

Community Fellows

Community Fellows are Bricksters who show up – in the forums, for customers, and for the community.

Some months, that means going beyond the forums. June was one of them – Fellows brought their energy to DAIS 2026, staffing the Community booth, welcoming new members, and reminding summit-goers what it means to belong to something bigger.

📊 June by the Numbers

The forums didn't stop just because DAIS was in town. Fellows held the line.

🏟️ DAIS 2026: Fellows in the Field

June brought DAIS 2026, and Fellows didn't just attend – they showed up to work.

🤝 The Community Booth
At the Databricks Community booth, Fellows volunteered as the face of the community, helping summit attendees discover, explore, and join. They answered questions on the spot, made first impressions count, and turned hallway conversations into real connections.

🚀 Fellows Hub: Still Going Strong

Fellows Hub is the platform that powers the Fellows program. No big launches this month, just the program humming along the way it should. That's the win.

Thank You, Fellows 🙏

To every Fellow who showed up in June – in the forums, at the summit, behind the judge's table, and in everything that doesn't show up on a leaderboard, THANK YOU. This program is what it is because of you.
