The first half of the summer was full of insightful industry events, not just in Europe.
Our colleagues – Rob Head, Head of Deliver, and Marc Hollyoak, Head of Technology Strategy – expressed their delight in participating in the Data and AI Summit, a remarkable event organized by Databricks in San Francisco from June 26th to 29th 2023.
The conference provided a platform for Databricks to unveil significant announcements, demonstrating their vision for the future of data and AI. Attendees were captivated by the theme of “Generation AI,” as Databricks emphasized a pragmatic approach to bringing AI to the enterprise.
The summit showcased key advancements, including the acquisition of MosaicML, the introduction of LakehouseIQ, improvements in deploying AI models, enhancements in data warehousing through PredictiveIO, and the release of Delta Lake 3.0.
