Fireside Chat: No Hype, No Slides: The 24-Month Data and AI Decisions That Actually Matter

There is no shortage of AI predictions. There is a critical shortage of honest conversations about what enterprise leaders should actually do next. In this no-slides, no-hype fireside chat, Databricks SVP of Product David Meyer and zeb.co VP of Data + AI Architecture Josue Bogran — one of the most followed voices in the Databricks community — dissect what is genuinely changing in data stacks and enterprise AI adoption over the next 24 months. They'll surface the most persistent misconceptions leaders have about the modern data stack, reveal what separates organizations generating real returns from those still in experimentation mode, and share candid insight from Databricks' product roadmap. Questions are shaped by the community in advance. This is the session for leaders who want an unfiltered signal, not vendor positioning.
