Hello Tushar

Honored beyond words to be featured in this recap. Thank you, Community team, for the mention and for putting together such a beautiful look back.

What DAIS 2025 gave me wasn't just a notebook full of announcements. It was a renewed belief that the future of data is being built by people who genuinely care, both inside Databricks and across this community. Lakebase, Agent Bricks, UC Metrics, and the rest of the lineup were exciting on stage, but watching them shape real conversations and real builds over the past year has been even more exciting.

I'll be in San Francisco for DAIS 2026 with deeper love for this platform, more conviction in where it's heading, and more determination to give back to the community that has given me so much. To anyone on the fence about attending, come. You'll leave with more than you expected. See you in June.

Hey Community 👋

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.

📣 The Big Drops — DAIS 2025 Announcements

🚀 DAIS 2025 dropped Lakebase, Agent Bricks, Spark Declarative Pipelines, Lakeflow Designer, UC Metrics, Lakebridge, Free Edition, and Native Gemini — plus GA for Lakeflow, AI/BI, and Databricks Apps — in one unforgettable keynote. (DAIS 2025 — Announcements 🔗)

🔥 Day 2 (June 12) — "What an Incredible Day"

Day 2 welcomed 600+ attendees to the Databricks Community Booth — they brought curiosity, insights, and enthusiasm for all things data. From screen names to handshakes, it was an unforgettable chance to meet incredible Community members in person.

💬 The Community Voice — Best Comments of the Week

The real magic of DAIS 2025 lived in the threads — here's what our community had to say:

"Just had the chance to meet @Sujitha from the Databricks Community team in the Expo Hall. Such a warm and passionate person who truly believes in the power of community… Being here as a Databricks Community member and Champion felt truly special. The sessions, the energy, the innovation — everything was pushing me to learn more and give back even more."

— @Brahmareddy

"A special shout-out to the product team for unveiling Agent Bricks and the Lakeflow 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."

— @iezhil_11

"So many amazing new things announced during the keynote."

— @renato-moreira

"What an amazing start! 🎉 So exciting to see such strong engagement from the Databricks community."

— @omerdogan7

"Joined the virtual one. Databricks Data+AI Summit Virtual. As a data engineer the announcements that drew my attention — Lakebase: a transactional database storing data in object stores in open formats, low-cost data storage with compute segregated. Branching and copy-on-write clones available. Lakeflow: New ETL Editor integrated for visual ETL (drag and drop)…"

🔮 Looking Ahead to DAIS 2026

Re: Who All Are Attending Data + AI Summit 2026 in San Francisco?

Brahmareddy — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 18:52:54 GMT

Yeah @-werners-, Agree. Traveling to San Francisco can be expensive, and many good community members miss the in-person experience because of that. Still, following it through YouTube is a smart way to stay connected, and yes, it would be wonderful if we had more DAI editions closer to different regions in the future.

Re: Who All Are Attending Data + AI Summit 2026 in San Francisco?

Brahmareddy — Sat, 28 Mar 2026 18:51:18 GMT

Absolutely @edonaire , even joining online is still a great way to learn and stay updated with all the latest announcements and ideas. I agree, the in-person networking has its own value, but the learning opportunity is still huge. Hoping we get more regional editions too, that would help many more community members participate.

Re: Who All Are Attending Data + AI Summit 2026 in San Francisco?

edonaire — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 14:24:32 GMT

Totally agree, DAI is the place to be.

Unfortunately, due to cost limitations, I’ll be joining online this year. Not the same experience, especially without the networking, but still a great opportunity to learn and keep up with what’s coming.

Hopefully we’ll see more regional editions in the future.

Re: Who All Are Attending Data + AI Summit 2026 in San Francisco?

-werners- — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 10:37:57 GMT

I used to go when they organized them on different continents.
And I agree DAI is the place to be.
But traveling to SF is too expensive (I think I am not alone here). So it will be youtube.
Not the same though 😞
If only there was a DAI closer by ...
