Athens dbt Meetup #1 - Real World dbt stories

Welcome to the inaugural dbt meetup in Athens. We are thrilled to start the community of Analytics Engineering in Greece, debuting with this event hosted at the Kaizen Campus.

In this first gathering, we will be happy to share with you our own stories and experiences with both dbt cloud and dbt core.
Yannis Lazaridis (A.E. Team Lead) and Stefanos Nikolaou (Sr A.E.) from Kaizen Gaming will share the thrilling journey and value added by dbt cloud in the company's data infrastructure.
Sofia Alevizopoulou (Sr. A.E) at GWI and Giannis Kontogeorgos (Lead Data Engineer) at Orfium, will take us through their own fascinating experiences with dbt core.

Come for the talks, stay for the community.
