**Databricks UK Meetup: Data & Spritz** **Conversational Analytics, Community and Genie in Practice** **Thursday, 15 October 2026** **The Chapel at Elmtree, Marylebone, London** **Free in-person event** **Registration and more information:** https://datapao.com/london-meetup-genie/ What if you could ask your company’s data a question in everyday language, and get a useful answer back without building a dashboard or writing a query?

You **don’t need to know Databricks or Genie already** to join us. If you work with data, analytics, BI or AI, or you’re simply interested in how AI is changing the way people interact with business data, this evening is for you. **What we will explore** We’ll look beyond the polished AI demo and discuss what it actually takes to make conversational analytics useful inside an organisation. That includes how Genie works, what needs to happen behind the scenes before users can reliably ask questions of their data, how teams create the right business context, and how organisations think about trust, governance and adoption. You’ll also see **Genie in action**, hear practical perspectives from people working with the technology, and have the opportunity to ask questions directly to Databricks and Datapao practitioners. **Expect:** **Live demos** See how conversational analytics works and what a real Genie experience looks like. **Practitioner insights** Hear what teams need to con
