🌟 Best Moments from DAIS 2025

Hey Community 👋

As we gear up for Data + AI Summit 2026, we wanted to take a moment to look back at the magic that was DAIS 2025 — four unforgettable days in San Francisco that genuinely changed how we think about the lakehouse.

Here's a curated highlight reel of the best moments — pulled straight from the community.

🎬 Kickoff Day — "It Was Officially On!"

The moment Moscone opened, you could feel it. The excitement was real at the Community Booth near the Expo Hall. Attendees were connecting with the team, meeting community members, and showcasing all the amazing things happening in the Databricks Community.

🌟 Day 1 (June 11) — Keynote Day

This was the day the announcements landed — the Day 1 keynote rewrote the lakehouse playbook. The Databricks Community Booth near the Expo Hall was absolutely buzzing, with 500+ visitors dropping by to say hi, explore what was new, and get involved with the community.
