dbt Global Circuit Series: Atlanta

Whether you are new to dbt or an experienced user, this meetup is a great opportunity to gain insights, share experiences, and expand your network.

We’ll kick things off with a look inside how dbt is transforming NCR Voyix's data modeling processes as part of NCR's digital transformation journey, then dive into the latest tools and ideas dbt Labs has been shipping — what they unlock, how they fit together, and why we built them the way we did.

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.
