**A Lightning Data + AI Summit Recap**
We saw a whirlwind of announcements at the Databricks Data + AI Summit this year. If you've not yet had a chance to dig through the noise, this session distils the biggest reveals, hottest innovations, and most eyebrow-raising features into a fast-paced, insight-packed recap.
**Harnessing Conversational BI with AI/BI Genie and Agent Bricks**
We’ll then roll up our sleeves and dive into a live technical demo of **Genie** and **Agent Bricks**, showing how these next-generation capabilities can supercharge end-user productivity, accelerate insight, and make conversational BI a more natural part of your data workflows. Expect some live building, practical use-cases, and a dash of AI-powered mischief.
