The booth got louder.
Literally.
Day 2 was when Day 1 turned all the way up. More attendees. More conversations. A megaphone. Limited-edition Legos flying off the booth. And volunteers jumping in like they were always going to. Here's how it went down.

When Mandy grabbed the megaphone.
At one point on Day 2, Mandy Ross looked at the escalator, looked at the megaphone toy on the booth, and justβ¦ ran with it. Suddenly there was a friendly voice calling out at every person stepping off the escalator: βCome to Community!β And honestly? It worked. The booth got busier almost immediately. New folks. Old friends. Curious passers-by. Everyone.

Three of the people who made the booth feel like home on Day 2. The kind of energy that pulls people in.
Today the booth was full of people from so many different countries, companies, and walks of life. Builders, leaders, first-time attendees, long-time community members, all in one place. That's the whole point.
The volunteers carried Day 2.
Massive shout-out to every single booth volunteer today. They didn't just show up, they jumped in like the Databricks experts that they are. Helping attendees, answering questions, walking people through the Community, running back to grab swag, then doing it all over again. The booth runs because of them.

The booth was the world today.
Day 2 brought builders from all over - different countries, different companies, different backgrounds, same enthusiasm. A few moments from the floor.
80% of the limited-edition Legos are gone.
Yes, really. The mini Databricks Community Lego sets are almost out. If you want one, tomorrow is your last shot.

What a day! π
Huge thanks to all the volunteers, Community Champions, and attendees who stopped by the booth and made Day 2 so memorable. The energy was incredible from start to finish, and seeing so many people connect, learn, and engage with the Community was amazing.
Also, special recognition to @MandyR and her now-famous toy megaphone, which may have officially earned a place in Community Summit history. π’π
See you all on Day 3!
