The first Boston dbt Meetup (online)

The dbt community in Boston is growing and we are thrilled to be organizing the first Meetup! While we won't be able to gather in-person, we are looking forward to hearing from two fantastic speakers, and getting to meet some of the Boston data teams currently implementing dbt.

For the best Meetup experience, make sure to join the #events-bos channel in dbt Slack (https://slack.getdbt.com/).
