Are you part of a Databricks user group in your city/region?

[Rishabh_Tiwari]

Joining a regional user group is a great way to connect with data and AI professionals near you. These groups bring together practitioners to learn, network, and share real-world experiences — all within your local context.

To join a group:

1. Select your region — 

   • APAC
   • EMEA
   • AMER

2. Choose your city or a nearby city

3. On Mobile/Tablet: Scroll to the bottom of the group page and click Join Group Hub
   
   

4. On Desktop: Click the Join Group Hub button on the right

Why join a user group?

• Connect with like-minded professionals in your region and grow your network

• Stay updated on local events, meetups, and workshops

• Share knowledge, best practices, and insights

• Grow your voice in the community through speaking and learning opportunities

Find your local community — or help us build one together.

@Rishabh  Thanks for the initiative.  🙏

hey @Rishabh_Tiwari ,
I'm a big fan of user groups, especially in this industry. We all have so much knowledge to share and we all use the same platform slightly differently. 
They're a great place to network and meet other users.

Cheers,
TheOC

Hi @TheOC 

Completely agree with you! That’s exactly the value we’re hoping to unlock through these regional user groups. Everyone brings a unique perspective, and it’s powerful when we can learn from how others are solving real-world challenges using the same platform.

Thanks for the support. Looking forward to seeing more folks like you shape the community with your experiences!

Hi Rishabh_Tiwari!

thanks for sharing, qq, i don't see my city (Berlin) though i know some companies in Berlin using DBX including company i work in (Zalando). Maybe it is time to start community for Berlin? How do we do that?

Thank you!

Hello @Maria_V!

Thank you for showing interest in establishing a Databricks Community group in Berlin. I’ve shared the next steps with you via a DM on the Community.

Looking forward to seeing this initiative take shape!

Great idea 😊

I've filled out the Google form for starting a group in Bristol, UK a couple of times but never heard anything back 😕  Is that a dead link now?

Is there any other support page that shows how to get a group started?  I spoke with the community team at DAIS 2025 and they said it was easy to get going.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Hi @JN_Bristol ,

Thanks for your message, and sorry to hear you didn’t hear back earlier!

I just checked, and I wasn’t able to find a request for Bristol in our records. I’ve sent you a DM with the steps to get started, let’s get this rolling! 

Looking forward to seeing the Bristol group come to life!

Thanks,
Rishabh

Hey @JN_Bristol , good luck with your UG!

we recently started the North East UK User Group - hopefully we can collaborate on some UK based content in the future 🙂

@Rishabh_Tiwari appreciate this initiative! I think user groups are the best way to bring together the community as well as to learn, share and grow. I would like to start a local user group in my city since there is none already. Could you please guide me on how to go about it and also help with details of organizing both virtual as well as in person events?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, @junaid-databrix. I'm really glad to hear you're interested in starting a local user group! I just sent you an email with all the details on how to get started, including guidance for organizing both virtual and in-person events.
