What to See (and Who to Meet) at Databricks Data + AI Summit 2026

CData promotes its data connectivity products at Databricks Data + AI Summit 2026, held June 15–18 at Moscone Center in San Francisco, arguing that enterprise AI agents and analytics projects often fail because they rely on stale exports, incomplete lakehouse data, or difficult-to-govern access to operational systems. CData Connect AI uses the Model Context Protocol to provide governed, live access to enterprise sources for agents and AI tools, incorporating identity passthrough, OAuth 2.1, SSO, least-privilege controls, and audit logging. CData Sync supports automated ETL/ELT and change-data-capture pipelines that replicate data from SaaS, ERP, database, and legacy systems into Databricks-compatible Delta Lake and Iceberg environments, while CData Drivers offer JDBC, ODBC, Python, MCP, and ADO.NET connectivity for developers, BI tools, and custom workflows. The company positions these products as complementary tools for organizations seeking to ingest external enterprise data into the lakehouse, enable agents to query current source data directly, and maintain existing security permissions across production AI and analytics architectures.
