AI that ships: building and deploying intelligent apps on Databricks

AI is everywhere, but shipping AI that actually works - reliably, on real data, in a production app - is a different challenge. That's what this event is about. We've got talks on building and deploying intelligent apps on Databricks, a look at how AI fits into the modern data stack, and - because the best conversations in this group come from the room - time to discuss what people are actually building and where it gets hard. Vivanti Consulting are hosting us in their space, and there will be pizza and drinks. Come with a question, bring a war story, or just come curious. Speakers will be announced soon! We will be running our Open Round after the talks as well. **🧠 Open round** \- what are you actually stuck on? The part we keep hearing people come back for. We go around the room, collect the real problems people are wrestling with this quarter - migration pain, governance sprawl, streaming costs, a model nobody trusts, whatever it is - and put them to the group. Someone here has almost certainly solved your problem already. Bring one problem you'd genuinely like a second opinion on. No slides needed, no need to have it figured out. **Call for speakers** Want to talk at a future meetup? We're always after speakers — 10-minute lightning talks count, and first-timers are very welcome. Reach out via LinkedIn or message here.
