Databricks, the Data and AI company, brought the Data + AI World Tour to Malaysia, marking their first-ever event of its kind in the country.

The Data + AI World tour is a global event making its stops in more than 30 cities across 5 continents this year. Held in Kuala Lumpur, the event gathered hundreds of data and AI experts and visionaries to connect and share best practices, as well as learn about large language models (LLMs), the lakehouse paradigm and Databricks’ latest product innovations.

This year’s Generation AI theme highlights the inflection point reached with the rise in the popularity of LLMs. The AI revolution will be a catalyst for how every company reimagines its data, product, and corporate strategies. Attendees heard from top experts as they share actionable best practices and compelling insights about their data journey. Highlights include thought-provoking sessions from data and AI leaders from pioneering companies like PETRONAS, Ikano Retail, UEM Edgenta and Aerodyne Group.
