First meetup in Bergen!

Join us for an evening of tech talks, community networking, and food! This is your chance to connect with fellow data engineers, data scientists, ML practitioners, and databricks enthusiasts in Bergen.

The event will be held at Knowit in Nøstegaten 58.

• Food and drinks will be served at 17:00
• We aim to start the presentations at around 18:00, so feel free to mingle and meet fellow tech colleagues!
• The event will end approximately 19:30-20:00.

The first speaker of the day will be Sigurd Setså from Knowit:

Operationalizing LLMs in Databricks: A real-world example from Vy
Vy wanted to convert a generative AI MVP into a production-ready product that was rigid, safe and easy to monitor. In this project, we came in to help create a sound LLMOps production environment, all in Databricks.
Join us as we discuss the ups and downs of using Databricks as an LLMOps platform. We’ll go through our process, what architecture we ended up with, as well as plenty of tips and tricks along the way.

The second speaker will be Emiel Venema from Knowit

Industrial IoT and Predicting Fuel Consumption on Databricks: Examples from Fjord Maritime
Fjord Maritime is a leader in delivering Hybrid battery systems for the aquaculture industry.
With hundreds of barges and tens of millions of rows of sensor data each day, how do we use Databricks and supporting architecture to efficiently store, aggregate, and serve this data to consumers?
In this talk, we will explore the architecture and decisions behind Fjord Maritime's data processing and analytics pipeline on Databricks, and show examples of how we implement models for predicting fuel consumption.

Last but not least, Databricks themselves will present Lakeflow connect, which is a built-in, no-code data ingestion solution designed to simplify and scale the process of bringing data from various sources into the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. It enables organizations to ingest data from databases, SaaS applications, and files with minimal configuration, leveraging serverless compute and Unity Catalog for governance
