Overview
Join Xorbix Technologies and Databricks for the next Wisconsin Databricks User Group meetup on Tuesday, December 16th, from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM CST at MSOE in Milwaukee, WI, with a virtual option also available.
This session brings together data professionals, engineers, and innovators from across Wisconsin to learn, share, and connect around real-world Databricks solutions. Attendees will hear from Sam McCune and Ben Schmirler, both Databricks Data Engineer Professionals, as they showcase how organizations can use the Lakehouse platform to modernize analytics, reduce complexity, and drive smarter decision-making.
Sam will present “Smarter, Faster, Cheaper: AI/BI Dashboards with Databricks Serverless Compute,” demonstrating how Serverless SQL, Delta Lake, and native AI capabilities can power modern BI dashboards without the overhead of traditional tools. Through an insurance claims dashboard example, attendees will see real-time analytics, predictive fraud scoring, anomaly detection, and natural language querying running on a single governed dataset.
Ben will present “Build an Intelligent Supply Chain in Databricks,” showing how Databricks enables a unified, AI-driven supply chain powered by real-time analytics, predictive insights, and automation. The session will explore how organizations can improve visibility, reduce forecasting errors, and lower lost sales by unifying data and decision-making on the Databricks platform.
Whether you’re new to Databricks or already working deep in the ecosystem, this meetup is a great opportunity to level up your knowledge, connect with fellow data practitioners, and engage directly with Databricks specialists.
