Theme: Destination Lakehouse

Everything has been leading up to this: The convergence of data, analytics and AI in one open platform. Lakehouse is the new home of data and AI and the destination for every data use case.

​

Everyone’s welcome at the Lakehouse. From data engineers to data scientists to partners and business analysts, the Lakehouse is open to all and ready for you. Data + AI Summit is where we architect the future of Lakehouse and explore its full potential. Because no matter where we come from – whatever industry, geography, role or business size — from now on we have a common destination: Lakehouse.
