Attending the Summit as a new grad

I'm trying to understand if it would be worth attending this summit as someone who doesn't use Databricks products (yet). I just graduated this month, and I wanted to go to network, meet people in the AI world, and catch some keynotes or expos on new things that are happening regarding AI and ML. I was also interested in the hackathon. Is the whole conference just training and sessions on Databricks specifically? Would it not be worth attending if I never used Databricks stuff? I am leaning towards getting the keynote & expo pass, but considering the full conference ticket too. Any advice or insight is appreciated!

I’m graduating with a 3.0-3.1 gpa despite really trying hard. I feel kind of defeated. I have no offer lined up for after grad. I never interned because I was doing school and didn’t want to graduate late. I have projects, but they’re not incredible. I used to be a phenomenal student in high school, and now I’m like this in college. I don’t know what my future looks like. I’m seriously doubting my ability to even work a SWE job because I feel like I have done so poorly in my classes and I don’t know as much as I should. I don’t know if I’ll be able to find a job anytime soon. I’ve applied to 300+ at this point and interviewed at around 5-7.
