Databricks London Meetup - Data & Spritz

**Databricks UK Meetup: Data & Spritz** **Genie Ontology, Genie Code and What’s Next for AI-Powered Data Work** **Wednesday, 25 November 2026** **[Databricks Office, London Windmill Street](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gZN3ZLuhe5Zr72X28)** **Free in\-person event \| Limited places** **Hosted by Datapao, in collaboration with the [Databricks Genie Community](https://usergroups.databricks.com/genie-community/).** **Registration closes on 23 November 2026.** ## **About the event** AI is changing how we work with data. But getting AI to understand your business, generate reliable answers and actually help your data teams get work done takes more than a good prompt. How does an AI assistant know what your organisation means by revenue, customer or product performance? How can it use that context to deliver more accurate results? And what happens when AI moves beyond answering questions to writing code, building pipelines and solving real engineering problems? At our next **Data & Spritz meetup**, we're bringing together **Databricks, Datapao and the London data community** to explore two important developments in the Databricks Genie family: **Genie Ontology and Genie Code**. We'll look at how these capabilities work, see practical demonstrations and discuss where they can make a real difference. Whether you're already experimenting with Genie or just getting familiar with the technology, join us for an afternoon of live demos, technical discussions, questions and networking at the Databricks London office. ## **What we'll explore** **Genie Ontology:** Giving AI the business context it needs An AI assistant might understand your data structure, but does it understand your business? We'll explore how Genie Ontology provides a shared context layer that helps Genie interpret business concepts and relationships. We'll look at how features such as domains, pages and governed business definitions can make data easier for AI to understand and work with. **Ella Davies from Databricks** will walk us through the concepts and demonstrate how this works in practice, using a pharmaceutical industry example. **Genie Code:** AI that helps you get data work done Genie isn't just about asking questions in natural language. Genie Code brings AI-assisted development into Databricks, helping data teams write and run code, develop pipelines, build dashboards and troubleshoot issues. We'll explore what Genie Code can do today, with a practical demonstration from the Datapao team, and discuss where it can genuinely save time for engineers and analysts. **From capabilities to practical adoption** What does it take to put these tools to work in an organisation? We'll discuss the importance of business context, governance, reliability and the challenges teams face when moving from experimentation to real use. **There will also be time for audience questions, technical conversations and sharing experiences with other Genie users.** **Food, drinks and networking** Data & Spritz wouldn't be complete without time to meet the community. Stay for food, drinks and the chance to exchange ideas with Databricks specialists, Datapao engineers and fellow data professionals. Bring your questions, use cases and challenges. ## **Who should join?** This meetup is for anyone working with data, analytics and AI, including: * Data engineers and analytics engineers * Data analysts and BI professionals * Data architects and platform engineers * AI developers and technical consultants * Data and analytics leaders * Anyone exploring Databricks Genie and AI-powered data workflows You don't need to be a Genie expert. We'll cover the concepts behind the technology as well as practical examples for those already working with it. ## **Speakers** **Ella Davies, Databricks** **Genie Ontology:** Building the context layer for business-aware AI **Datapao Engineering Team** **Genie Code:** Practical demonstration and use cases **Additional speakers and discussion participants will be announced soon.** ## **Agenda** **17:30 – Doors open, registration and refreshments** **17:45 – Welcome and introduction** **18:00 – Genie Ontology: Presentation and live demo with Ella Davies, Databricks** **18:20 – Genie Code in action: Live demo with Datapao** **18:40 – Customer session - TBD** **19:00 – Practical perspectives, open discussion and audience Q&A** **19:20–20:00 – Food, drinks and networking** Agenda and speakers are subject to updates. ## **Venue** **Databricks London Office** 11-14 Windmill St, London W1T 2JG, United Kingdom Lower Ground Floor Further arrival details will be shared with confirmed attendees. ## **About Data & Spritz** Data & Spritz is a series of Databricks community meetups hosted by **Datapao**, bringing together people who work with data and AI to share practical knowledge, explore new technology and learn from each other's experiences.

"Can You Play Backgammon?" – Meeting the 2026 World Champion! Social Sun 15 Nov

Dear Backgammon Lovers 🤗 A Little Recent Story About Our Group One of my aims with my social backgammon group is to bring a cross-section of people together in warm, friendly and affordable venues, where we can play our favourite game and enjoy a good chat with each other. A little story from last Sunday illustrates this rather nicely! After exchanging a few messages, a nice, friendly-looking chap called Frederik turned up at my social backgammon group. I had absolutely no idea who he was. As I do with other newcomers to the group, I welcomed him and looked him in the eye and asked: "Can you play backgammon?" Frederik Mikkelsen, as I later discovered was his name, paused, gave me a polite, unassuming smile and replied: "Yes" In hindsight and as I thought later on reflection, this was probably the politest way anyone has ever said: "My friend, you have just asked the ocean whether it can swim." Frederik, who others and I later played well into the night, turned out to be the 2026 World Backgammon Champion, having come first in the recent London Open! 😂 Despite us being an amateur group with many amazing players, this was a beautiful reminder that you never quite know who might turn up at one of our backgammon social gatherings ☺️ First-timers: Please see the information below on Meetup regarding the Fee, etiquette, bringing boards, etc 😉 Finding Gest: Gest Restaurant & Bar is just inches from one of the exits at Euston Square station. Turn right at the ticket barriers and follow the route around. Gest – Our Venue Gest has become a favourite spot for our lively backgammon group, offering a warm, bright space with a relaxed and friendly vibe, helped enormously by its welcoming staff. Social Backgammon Whether you're a seasoned player or completely new to the game, everyone is welcome. Our Sunday afternoon meetups offer a mix of friendly competition, laughter and the occasional lucky double six. Add to this the discounted food, drinks and easy conversation, and you've got the makings of a wonderful Sunday afternoon. 20% Off Food and Drink In order for us to continue meeting at Gest, we ask everyone to order at least one drink, possibly two, and, hopefully, one of their meals. I can highly recommend their chicken burger! By supporting the venue in this way, we'll hopefully maintain such a generous deal in such an accommodating setting. In return, we receive 20% off all food and drinks! About Our Backgammon Group Our group started in June 2015 and has now run over 500 official meetups, plus more than 300 spin-off informal gatherings. With nearly 2,500 members, we're the largest backgammon group in the UK, and we're known for our warmth, humour and friendliness. We typically meet fortnightly on Sundays, with around twenty or so regulars, alongside new players who join our gatherings each time. Everyone is welcome, whatever your level. Dinner, Drinks and Playing Time We usually sit down for a relaxed group meal around 6pm, but you're free to order whenever it suits you. Many people arrive early, stay late, and dip in and out of games between food, drinks, conversation and laughter. RSVP Please RSVP as soon as you can, as it really helps with planning and coordinating with Gest's management, who kindly arrange tables for us. Please Bring Your Own Board If you have a backgammon board, please bring it along. If you don't, just post a note on the Meetup page or message me in advance and we'll match you up. It's always fun to see the variety of boards, in all shapes, sizes and colours, that people bring along. Meetup Fee £4 per person. This small contribution helps cover Meetup, administration and other organisational costs that keep the group running smoothly. Etiquette Let's keep things friendly and respectful over the board, and be friendly and delightful to one another. In particular, please remember to thank the Gest staff for hosting us. Should anything crop up during the event, just have a quiet word with me or whoever is hosting on my behalf. Backgammon Rules We play under international backgammon tournament rules, with one or two minor exceptions regarding the dice. Full details are available on our Meetup page. Contact If you need help finding the venue or have any questions, please call or text me on 07956 263451. Please avoid sending Meetup messages within three hours of the start time, as they may not always be seen in time. Looking forward to rolling dice, meeting new faces and sharing another brilliant Sunday with you all! Best wishes, Chris Sattaur 🤗

🏹 Archery Session | Historic Mamluk / Ottoman Archery. SPOTS LEFT: 0️⃣

🏹 Discover the Art of Historic Mamluk & Ottoman Archery Step back in time and learn the traditional archery techniques practiced by the warriors of the Mamluk and Ottoman eras. Unlike modern Western archery, this style uses the thumb draw, a unique and highly effective shooting method that offers a completely different experience. Whether you're interested in history, martial arts, or simply trying something new, this is a fantastic opportunity to experience a fascinating archery tradition that has been practiced for centuries. The session lasts for 2 hours (you'll get at least an hour of fairly free shooting) and the price includes tuition, equipment hire, and insurance. The sessions are fun and easy-going. Most importantly we will get you shooting safely and (relatively!) accurately by the end of the 2 hours. 📍 Arrive at the venue by 10:41am.
