Welcome to the official kickoff of the Riyadh Databricks User Group! 🚀

With the massive announcements coming out of the Databricks Data + AI Summit, there has never been a better time to unite the data, analytics, and AI community here in Saudi Arabia.

This first session will be a casual, interactive virtual meetup designed to break the ice, introduce ourselves, and map out the future of this community together. Whether you are a Data Engineer, Architect, Data Scientist, or Tech Leader, we want to hear from you!

🗓️ Planned Agenda

·         Welcome & Introductions: Meet your chapter organizer and fellow local data practitioners.

·         Data + AI Summit Highlights: A quick, high-level overview of the biggest announcements from the summit (Unity Catalog updates, GenAI tools, Lakeflow, etc.).

·         Community Brainstorming: Open floor to discuss the topics, tools, and technical deep-dives you want to see in future sessions.

·         The Road Ahead (Venues & Formats): Help us shape our upcoming in-person meetups! We want your feedback on the type of venues you prefer (e.g., tech hubs, corporate spaces, cafes) and locations across Riyadh.
