Data + AI Summit 2025 - Data Intelligence for All

Databricks’ Data + AI Summit is the company’s flagship industry event for data engineers, ML engineers, data scientists and enterprise leaders focused on data architectures (lakehouse), MLOps, model governance and scaling AI in production. The Summit mixes deep technical sessions, hands-on labs, certification opportunities and executive keynotes covering topics such as distributed training, feature stores, model monitoring, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns and open-source projects integral to the modern data stack (Spark, MLflow, Delta Lake).

Databricks positions the event as both a technical learning forum and a vendor partner marketplace: the programme includes partner showcases, customer case studies from large enterprises, and practical workshops for teams building production-grade pipelines. Attendees gain access to product roadmaps, detailed migration guidance, and hands-on best practices for reducing time-to-production while meeting governance and privacy constraints.

The Summit is hybrid: in-person attendance (San Francisco / Moscone Center historically) pairs with virtual access to many sessions, making it feasible for global teams to follow technical tracks and replay content on-demand. For engineers the Summit is an opportunity to acquire product skill certifications and deep technical knowledge; for leaders it provides guidance on cloud economics, governance and organisational models for AI adoption.

The event’s large expo floor connects integrators, tooling vendors and cloud partners whose technology complements Databricks’ platform.
