Before the doors opened.
Day 0 of DAIS 2026 started long before any badges were scanned. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how the Community booth came together — from the curb to the floor.
First look at Moscone West.
Walking in, the building was already wearing its DAIS jersey — the red banner, the Databricks logo on the glass, the “Built For Data” signage on the doors. The week officially started here.

And then the boxes.
Setup doesn't happen by magic. Carts in, cardboard out, people pointing at signage trying to figure out which way is up. The part of the show no one usually sees — and the part that makes everything else possible.
The boxes that became the booth.
The Learning Hub coming alive.
Up to Level 2, near the escalators, and there it was. The Learning Hub banner already in place, tables being arranged, screens warming up. Big shout-out to the team who got everything in place — Day 1 ran because Day 0 happened first.

“Data Is Better With Friends.”
By the time the doors opened, the Community booth was up and ready. The wall went up, the chairs lined up, screens running — and the line we live by, “Data Is Better With Friends”, front and center. That's the whole point of the booth, after all.
Ready for you. Come find us.

The Databricks Community booth is in the Learning & Enablement Hub at Moscone West, Level 2, near the escalators. We'd love to meet you in person this week.
