Databricks Dublin Meetup

Welcome to the next Databricks Ireland Meetup.
Join us in Dublin for an evening of practical talks, customer stories and networking focused on Data, Analytics and AI.

This session will bring together Databricks updates from Data + AI Summit, real-world customer use cases from Dublin Airport Authority and Kerry Group, and short industry perspectives from payments and professional services.

The theme for the evening is practical AI adoption: what organisations are doing now, what is changing after Data + AI Summit and how teams are thinking about data foundations, governance, AI agents, business value and responsible adoption.

Whether you work in data, analytics, AI, technology leadership or business transformation, this will be a chance to hear from people applying these ideas in the real world and to connect with the wider Irish Databricks community.
