About This Event

We’re returning to Big Data LDN for a special edition of the Databricks London Meetup, bringing the community together at Olympia London after the first day of the conference. Join us on **Wednesday 23 September from 6pm to 7.30pm** for an evening of technical talks, practical experience and honest conversation about working with Databricks. Whether you’re already building on the platform, exploring where it could fit, or simply want to meet other people working across data and AI, you’ll be very welcome. We’re working with Databricks on the speaker line-up and will share the full agenda shortly. As ever, the aim is to keep the content useful and grounded, with experienced practitioners sharing what they have learnt from real projects rather than delivering sales pitches. The meetup will take place inside **Big Data LDN at Olympia London**. The exact theatre and its location on the event map are still to be confirmed. We’ll update this page as soon as those details are finalised, so please keep an eye on the event updates before travelling.
