Join us for an in-person session with Arsalan Tavakoli, as he shares the story of Databricks - from its early days as a research project at UC Berkeley to becoming one of the most valuable data companies in the world.
Learn how a group of seven PhD students built Apache Spark, set a world record for data sorting, and laid the groundwork for a platform now valued at $62B after raising $10B in one of the largest VC rounds in history.
This is a unique opportunity to hear firsthand insights into the challenges, decisions, and growth milestones behind one of the biggest data infrastructure success stories.
