We hosted a jam-packed 11 webinars this year, packed with insightful discussions and expert presentations. Sit back, grab some popcorn, and revisit some of our favorite sessions.

?? Plotly is Databricks’ Top Data + AI Product of 2024

At this year’s Data+AI Summit, Plotly celebrated two major achievements. The first was receiving the Databricks Customer Impact Partner of the Year award, recognizing our significant customer growth, compelling storytelling through case studies, and innovative integrations with the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, enabling companies to streamline data workflows, cut costs, and accelerate value.

Plotly was also named the Top Data + AI Product in the 2024 State of Data + AI report, based on insights from over 10,000 Databricks customers. Among its findings, 9 of the top 10 most widely adopted technologies were open source, with Plotly Dash dominating the #1 spot by a wide margin.

?? New Dash Enterprise releases
