DAIS Session Content - Slidedeck

ParcifalVG — Tue, 30 Jun 2026 20:46:24 GMT

Hi All,

2 weeks ago I was able to attend the DAIS and I became greatly inspired by the different high-quality sessions/content that I was able to follow. Now, I want to be able to also share this inspiration with others in my daily practice and the ideal way to do this would be via the slidedecks of the different sessions.

Therefore I was wondering: is there a general way in which we can request access to slidedecks of sessions that were presented at the DAIS? I see that for most of the sessions recordings are available, however it would be useful if we could have the slidedeck content instead.

Sincere regards and thanks in advance!
Parcifal

Great recap! I joined virtually from Newfoundland, Canada and really enjoyed the sessions. Your post gave me good insights on what I missed by not being present there. As a student currently doing my internship, flying out to San Francisco wasn't really an option, so the virtual sessions were the only way to still be part of it.

Was most of the networking happening organically around the expo floor, or were there dedicated meetup sessions for it?

Definitely adding it to my list for when I'm further along in my career!

Incredible week with incredible people! Thanks to everyone who contributed on the greater L&E team. I had such a great time, and am feeling pretty beat after all that adrenaline! Looking forward to an even bigger, even better event next year.

Wow, what a week.👏 😃

We all look forward to DAIS for months, and then it just flashes by so fast. The last day is always a little emotional.

DAIS just beautifully strengthens the bonds that this community builds between members. It's honestly incredible seeing what happens when everyone comes together, from the faces at the booth to everyone working tirelessly behind the scenes. Cheers to everyone's effort!!! 🥂✨

Day 3 Recap · Thursday, June 18, 2026

The Legos ran out.
The hugs didn't.

Day 3 was a quieter kind of day - keynotes wrapped yesterday, so today belonged to the breakouts. The booth saw slow trickles instead of waves. We ran out of Legos an hour before close. We finally walked the Expo. We hung out with puppies. And honestly? We're a little exhausted and a lot proud.

Mandy Ross on the last morning of DAIS 2026. That basically sums up Day 3.

The pace

A different kind of busy.

With keynotes done, Day 3 was all breakouts, people in sessions for long stretches, then short bursts at the booth. Slower than yesterday, but in some ways better: the conversations went deeper. Less drive-by, more “tell me more about this”. The kind of last-day energy where everyone has finally figured out where to be.

🧱 Sold out

An hour before close, the last Lego walked out the door.

The limited-edition Databricks Community Lego sets went the distance. Today's trickle still came specifically for them, and then, about an hour before the booth closed, the box was empty. Thank you for grabbing one. Please put it somewhere your kids (or your desk neighbors) can stare at it.

🚪 Off the booth

We finally walked the Expo Hall.

For three days we'd been in the Community Booth. Today we slipped over to the Expo, and wow. It is huge. A really impressive set of vendors, a packed floor, and an unmistakable sense of how big this whole ecosystem has become. Made us genuinely proud to be Bricksters.

Fox Sports × Databricks - the World Cup Stadium in the Expo Hall. Yes, really.

🐶 The wellness detour

Sit. Stay. Analyze.

There was a wellness puppy area. Two litters. Impossibly cute, totally adoptable. We may have spent more time here than we'd like to admit on a workday. No notes. Best decision of Day 3.

Two litters. All adoptable. All world-class nappers.

🙌 In the trenches

Community Team for Day 3.

Day 2 had its crew. Day 3 had its own. A massive shout-out to Thursday's volunteers - who showed up for the final day, when the floor was quieter, the lines shorter, but the booth still had to feel like home for every last person who walked up. They kept showing up. That's the whole thing.

📸 Day 3 · Community Team

The team that closed it down.

“Three days at the booth. One empty Lego shelf. One last photo together.”

They greeted, registered, walked people through Community, handed out the last Lego sets, and ran the booth right up to close. The team you remember by name, and recognize anywhere.

The Databricks Community booth - doing what it did all week, pulling people in.

San Francisco, this week

DAIS, from the outside in.

A week in this city we won't forget. Databricks branding on every other corner, flowers on the kiosks, and Moscone West basically glowing for three days straight.

Moscone West - home base for the week.

Databricks branding turned up on every other corner.

That's a wrap

Going home with empty Lego boxes and full hearts.❤️

Three days. So many conversations. So much energy. So many people we'd only ever talked to over a screen, finally standing in front of us. We're fulfilled, we're proud, and we're ready to take our Legos home to our families.

If you stopped by the booth this week, thank you. You are the reason this booth existed. The Community is built by people like you, and every conversation here this week made that more real than any keynote ever could.

See you in the Community.

See you next year. 🙌

Were you there this week?

Drop your favorite moment in the comments — we want to relive it with you. 📸

I have attended DAIS keynotes virtually, and I am really surprised by how the hosts, Ari and Holly, kept the talk so engaging.
Really curious to see what an in-person meeting would be like. Thanks, organisers!!
