The Story

Join us for the Chicago Databricks Community Meetup, co-hosted by Databricks and Analytics8, for an evening of hands-on insight, live demos, and great conversation with the local data & AI community. This month, we're going deep on Lakebase — the operational Postgres database built into the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform — and what it unlocks for building AI-native applications. You'll see how Lakebase brings transactional and analytical workloads together, and how it connects the dots across Unity Catalog, AI/agent development, and the rest of the Databricks ecosystem. What to expect: * A demo-style walkthrough of Lakebase and AI development patterns on Databricks, led by Ed Pearson, Principal Consultant at Analytics8 * Real-world use cases and lessons from the field * Networking with Chicago-area data engineers, architects, and AI practitioners * Pizza and drinks — on us Agenda: \- 5:30 PM — Doors open · networking\, snacks & drinks \- 6:00 PM — Presentation & live demo \- \~6:45 PM — Q&A and open networking \- 7:30 PM — Wrap Whether you're already building on Databricks or just exploring what Lakebase and AI on the Lakehouse can do, come learn, ask questions, and connect.
