Chicago was a home run ⚾ 🚗 Days 7 and 8 of #Road2Summit brought the team to Wrigley Field for two great days of Cubs baseball, classic Chicago deep dish, and some of the biggest energy we’ve seen so far on the journey to Databricks Data + AI Summit.

#Road2Summit officially rolled through Buckeye country 🏈 The crew spent day 5 making their way through Columbus with stops around Ohio State University, more miles across the Midwest, and plenty of scarlet and gray along the way. The momentum is building... Chicago is on the horizon 👀 #Road2Summit #R2S #Databricks #DataAISummit #DAIS2026 #V4C

Day 4 of #Road2Summit took us through Syracuse, Niagara Falls, and Buffalo as the 9,000+ mile journey toward Databricks Data + AI Summit kept rolling west. Over the past few days, the campaign has made stops at Citi Field, Fenway Park, Highmark Stadium, and more — with plenty still ahead before we reach San Francisco. Between iconic landmarks, roadside stops, long highway stretches, and the growing list of signatures covering the car, every day on the road continues to take on its own personality. And yes: Niagara Falls absolutely lived up to the hype. Follow the journey live at www.road2summit.ai #Road2Summit #R2S #Databricks #DAIS2026 #DataAISummit #V4C
