Unity Catalog: From Foundations to Best Practices

Whether you are just getting started with data governance or working to scale it across the enterprise, this session will walk you through how Unity Catalog helps simplify secure access, discovery, and collaboration for data and AI.

We will start with the fundamentals of Unity Catalog, explain how it works, and why it plays a central role in governing data and AI across clouds, teams, and workloads. Then we will dive into the latest product updates, including live demos that show new capabilities in access control, lineage, discovery, and monitoring. You will also get a first look at upcoming features and hear insights from customers already running Unity Catalog in production.

The session wraps with clear guidance on how to design and roll out Unity Catalog effectively. We will cover how to structure catalogs, manage permissions, and build for multi-cloud and multi-region environments. If you want a practical understanding of Unity Catalog and how to apply it in your organisation, this session is for you.

Building Production-Ready AI and Multi-Agent Systems With Agent Bricks

More than 80% of AI projects fail. The reason? Customers are not ready to put AI in production in areas where the Agent can cause reputational or financial harm.

Introducing Agent Bricks, a new approach to deploying production-ready AI Agents. Agent Bricks uses novel research techniques to automatically generate domain-specific synthetic data and task-aware benchmarks. Based on these benchmarks, it automatically optimizes for cost and quality, saving enterprises from the tedious trial-and-error of current approaches. Now, teams can achieve production-level accuracy and cost efficiency right from the start.

This session will show you how to build and scale real-world AI systems using Agent Bricks. We’ll cover how to design multi-agent systems that combine retrieval, reasoning, and generation to answer complex questions grounded in your enterprise data. Along the way, you’ll see how to track experiments, fine-tune performance, and build workflows that are reliable, governed, and built for scale.

Introducing Lakeflow: The Future of Data Engineering on Databricks

Data engineering doesn’t have to be a patchwork of tools and handoffs. In this session, we’ll introduce you to Lakeflow, Databricks’ unified solution for building reliable, scalable data pipelines with less friction and more control. Whether you’re just getting started or managing complex workflows, Lakeflow brings together ingestion, transformation, and orchestration into one cohesive experience.

We’ll walk through the key components, including Lakeflow Connect, Declarative Pipelines, Jobs, and the new Lakeflow Designer—a visual interface that makes it even easier to build and manage pipelines with minimal code. You’ll see live demos of no-code ingestion, code-optional transformation, and unified orchestration across your data estate.

We’ll also share what’s coming next, including support for open source tooling and expanded no-code capabilities. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how Lakeflow simplifies your stack, increases productivity, and provides a strong foundation for building high-performance, governed data pipelines at scale.

Lakebase: Fully Managed Postgres for the Lakehouse

Lakebase is a new Postgres-compatible OLTP database designed to support intelligent applications. Lakebase eliminates custom ETL pipelines with built-in lakehouse table synchronization, supports sub-10ms latency for high-throughput workloads, and offers full Postgres compatibility, so you can build applications more quickly.

In this session, you’ll learn how Lakebase enables faster development, production-level concurrency, and simpler operations for data engineers and application developers building modern, data-driven applications. We'll walk through key capabilities, example use cases, and how Lakebase simplifies infrastructure while unlocking new possibilities for AI and analytics.

Databricks SQL: Getting Started and What’s New with Live Demos

New to Databricks SQL or just trying to keep up with everything that’s been added? This session gives you both. We’ll start with a fast-paced introduction to Databricks SQL, including how to set up a warehouse, load data, run queries, and build dashboards in just a few minutes. You’ll get a clear view of how the platform supports analysts, developers, admins, and business users with a simple and intuitive interface.

From there, we’ll dive into the latest features, with live demos and real-world use cases. We’ll cover the new SQL editor, coding enhancements, streaming tables, materialized views, BI integrations, system tables, observability, and cost management tools. We’ll also show how AI is being used under the hood to optimize performance and help you get the most out of your workloads. Whether you're just starting out or looking to stay current, this session will get you up to speed.

Deep Dive: Building Production-Ready AI Agents with Agent Bricks and Custom Solutions

More than 80% of AI projects fail because customers aren't ready to deploy AI where it could cause reputational or financial harm. This session changes that.

We'll start by introducing Agent Bricks, a revolutionary approach that uses novel research techniques to automatically generate domain-specific synthetic data and task-aware benchmarks. Based on these benchmarks, it automatically optimizes for cost and quality, eliminating the tedious trial-and-error of current approaches to deliver production-level accuracy from the start.

Then we'll dive deeper, showing you how to build custom AI agents from scratch using Databricks' Mosaic AI platform. You'll learn to design multi-agent systems that combine retrieval, reasoning, and generation to answer complex questions grounded in your enterprise data. We'll cover experiment tracking, performance optimization, and building reliable, governed workflows at scale.

Whether you're starting your AI journey or scaling existing efforts, this session provides both the out-of-the-box solutions and foundational knowledge to build next-generation GenAI solutions ready for production deployment.

Discover the latest Innovations in AI/BI Dashboards and Genie

Discover how the latest innovations in Databricks AI/BI Dashboards and Genie are transforming self-service analytics. This session offers a high-level tour of new capabilities that empower business users to ask questions in natural language, generate insights faster and make smarter decisions.

Whether you're a long-time Databricks user or just exploring what's possible with AI/BI, you'll walk away with a clear understanding of how these tools are evolving — and how to leverage them for greater business impact.
