Databricks Data + AI Summit 2026

The largest conference dedicated to data, analytics, and AI infrastructure - 800+ sessions covering data engineering, MLOps, and the Databricks/Spark ecosystem.

The Data + AI Summit is the largest conference dedicated to data, analytics, and AI. Keynotes come from Databricks leaders including CEO Ali Ghodsi and CTO Matei Zaharia (creator of Apache Spark). The free virtual pass is a standout feature - all keynotes and a significant portion of sessions are available at zero cost. Register for the virtual option even if you are not attending in person. In-person early bird pricing is typically available until late April at a 50% discount from the regular rate. The conference is naturally Databricks-centric, but the data engineering and MLOps content applies broadly to anyone building AI data pipelines.
