July 2026 - Databricks London Meetup

We're back for a Databricks London Summer Special! ☀️

Join us for a relaxed meetup where data and AI professionals can swap ideas, hear a couple of practical talks, and meet others working with Databricks in the real world. Whether you're deep into the platform already or just keen to learn from the community, this is a great chance to pick up something useful and meet some excellent people along the way.

This time we're joined by Holly Smith, Staff Developer Advocate at Databricks, sharing her hot takes (!) from the Data + AI Summit (DAIS). Building on Simon's overview from earlier this month, Holly will take a deeper dive into the announcements, with her own judgement on what really matters and what's coming next.

17:30 - 18:00: Arrival & Networking
18:00 - 18:10: Opening Remarks & Introductions
18:10 - 19:00: Holly Smith's DAIS deep-dive
19:00 - 19:15: Q&A with Holly
19:15 onwards: Pizza, Drinks & Networking

Join us for a useful evening of honest perspectives, practical discussion and networking with the London Databricks community.
