The Manchester Databricks User Group x Data Decoded Recap

Last night, we were proud to host the Manchester Databricks User Group at Data Decoded – Manchester’s renowned two-day festival of data and AI. 

It was the first time the User Group had been part of Data Decoded, and it felt like a natural fit. With the festival already buzzing with leading voices in data and AI, the meetup brought that energy into an evening of conversation, learning, and genuine community connection. 

We welcomed speakers from: 

• ThoughtSpot – Ricky Patel  

• dbt Labs – Hicham Babahmed  

• Hightouch – Yana Ballantyne & Gary Banks  

  
  

Last night’s session focused on how these technology partners are strengthening the Databricks community and where their products and services can add value to your architecture. 

For us at Primus, hosting this event was about strengthening the Databricks community in Manchester and creating a space where ideas and connections could thrive. 

A big thank you to the team at Data Decoded for the platform, and to everyone who joined us. We’re excited to see this momentum carry forward into future meetups! See you in January.
