Networking Events

Are there any networking events in Wisconsin for Databricks users?  My company is in the financial industry and we are new to Databricks.  We are interested in talking with people to see how they use Databricks to help their business.

@ABakar what about in the Dallas area?

@Kaizen We are based in Wisconsin so trying to get this moving in Wisconsin.  I can connect you with someone from Databricks who could help with the user group build out in Dallas. @nbentz

@Kaizen , As we move through the process to build out the Wisconsin user group, we can add virtual option to be part of the user group.  Perhaps that could help you to still see what activities we can present for our members.  Please send me an email to asif@xorbix.com with your linkedin and I can connect with you on linkedin and keep you updated.

Hi @nbentz, 

Xorbix is hosting the first Wisconsin Databricks User Group meeting on Thursday, June 3rd. Our CEO, Asif, along with Ryan Shiva and myself (Tyler Faulkner, both Software Engineers), will be leading this meeting. We will cover an introduction to Databricks and its various use cases.

Our goal is to make this User Group a regular gathering for industry professionals to discuss their work and expand their knowledge on Databricks. It's a great opportunity to network and learn from peers in the field.

You can find more information and register here: Wisconsin Databricks User Group.
