Databricks' free one-day city roadshow, run each autumn as 'Data + AI World Tour' (2022 theme 'Destination Lakehouse', 2023 'Generation AI'). Each in-person city stop is a separate edition (id_suffix = city slug); virtual regional sessions (EMEA/APJ/AMER/Japan/Korea Virtual) are left out. Coverage: 2022 (5 in-person stops: London, Paris, Munich, Sydney, New York), 2023 (4 spring APJ stops plus 20 autumn stops; Tel Aviv postponed), 2024 (18), 2025 (19), 2026 (20 announced). Names checked: 'Data + AI World Tour', 'Databricks World Tour', 'Data Intelligence Day(s)', 'Databricks AI Days', 'Spark Live'. 'Data Intelligence Days' turned out to be a separate, smaller half-day spring series (e.g. London, Stamford Bridge, 17 Apr 2024; London, CodeNode, 2 Apr 2025) running alongside the autumn World Tour, not an earlier name for it, so it is excluded here and logged as a lead. The 2021 'Data + AI World Tour' was virtual-only (webinar pages), and no in-person pre-2022 roadshow under another name was found for 2019 (the 2016 'Spark Live' tour predates scope), so coverage starts in 2022. Social links are Databricks corporate accounts (the tour pages' footer links X and YouTube); the event has no own accounts. 2024-2026 stop data (dates, venues, sponsors, keynote sessions) come from the per-city Rainfocus registration sites (dataaisummit.databricks.com/flow/db/wt<yy><airport-code>/...). Sponsors/keynotes recorded only for the largest stops (London, New York, Paris, Munich, Sydney). Tour-wide scale claimed on the tour page: 2025 '22 Cities / 22,000+ Attendees / 395 Sponsors'; 2026 page (Nov 2026) shows '40,000+ Attendees', 20 cities, 800 sponsors. No per-city attendance published. Sponsorship packages not published (contact-only). 2027 virtual sessions (EMEA Jan 13, 2027; Korea/APJ/AMER Jan 21, 2027) listed; no 2027 in-person stops announced.
