What are dbt meetups? dbt Meetups are networking events open to all folks working with data! Talks predominantly focus on community members' experience with dbt, however, you'll catch presentations on broader topics such as analytics engineering, data stacks, data ops, modeling, testing, and team structures.

This meetup is designed for builders, thinkers, and tinkerers — folks who want to roll up their sleeves (figuratively), learn from each other, and imagine what’s next for the analytics engineering stack. Whether you’re curious about what’s new, want to see how others are approaching similar problems, or just want to ask hard questions — you’re in the right place.

This meetup is extra special because we have dbt Labs participating as speakers. In this meetup, they’ll dive into the latest tools and ideas they’ve been shipping — what they unlock, how they fit together, and why they built them the way they did.
