Databricks After Hours @The Gallery
Databricks After Hours @The Gallery
The sessions end at six. The good part starts after.
A gallery in the middle of the city. The most interesting companies in AI are live on the floor: robots in motion, software doing things on screen you'll want to stop and watch.
A lineup you'll be glad you caught: investors and the people building the category, talking off the record about where things are actually going. The kind of stories that don't make it on stage.
Then dinner, and a night that runs longer than you planned. The people you traded a quick hello with all day become the people you actually get to know.
Hosted by SFPlayground, a private venture network connecting startups, investors, and customers through curated event experiences across San Francisco.
An independent event, not affiliated with Databricks.
