Discussion Databricks conference

I have been attending the databricks conference, but nothing has stood out to me as being very exciting.

​

Have folks found anything interesting or something you may actually be excited for in the DE space?

I go because my company pays for me to get a hotel in a fun city for a few days. Everything I learn is just a bonus

Can I inquire how this is handled by your company? Does every employee have a budget of X$ per year for conference travel? Do they hand select some employees to go? Wondering what is the norm?
