Thank you to everyone who made Day 1 of the Data + AI Summit on June 11 an unforgettable kickoff! Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to the brilliant speakers who shared deep technical insights on data engineering, lake house architecture, and the latest AI governance practices. Your expertise and passion set the tone for an inspiring day of learning.
A special shout-out to the product team for unveiling Agent Bricks and the Lake flow Designer preview—your demos highlighted how these tools will empower us to build more scalable, cost-effective, and governed AI solutions. The MLflow showcase and AI Functions roadmap session were equally educating, offering a clear view into the future of seamless ML lifecycles.
We also want to thank the hands-on lab instructors and certification coaches who guided so many attendees through practical exercises, making complex concepts approachable and actionable. The hackathon kickoff was a blast—seeing teams already brainstorming innovative prototypes reminds us why community collaboration lies at the heart of Databricks.
To our volunteers and event staff: your tireless coordination behind the scenes ensured that sessions ran smoothly and that every attendee felt supported. And of course, thank you to every participant for your thoughtful questions, hallway conversations, and willingness to connect. The Summit community thrives because of your curiosity and camaraderie. #databricks ##Datasummit
