🎤 3 EXPERT SPEAKERS WITH EXCITING TOPICS

1️⃣ “What on Earth is dbt?”
Radek Tomsej, Head of Data Engineering, Alma Career

Too many people in the data world are still wondering what on Earth dbt is and why everyone else is talking about it. Radek is lifting the curtain around dbt’s seemingly magical capabilities to transform a humble data analyst into a fully fledged data developer (or an analyst that’s no longer that humble).
Radek’s presentation is sprinkled with a liberal amount of jokes at the expense of our beloved SQL, so keep that in mind if you are particularly partial to it.

2️⃣ “dbt: Unleashing the Data Fever”
Michal Kolacek, Head of Analytics Engineering, Slido
Let's dive into the world of dbt, a transformative tool that fosters a data-passionate culture within your team. Michal is going to share real-life stories from Slido’s data journey, illustrating how dbt has streamlined operations, empowered everyone with data, and amplified our decision-making capabilities. This talk is all about how dbt can make your life a whole lot easier and spark enthusiasm for data everywhere you look.

3️⃣ “How dbt helps you sleep at night”
Tomas Janotik, Senior Analytics Engineer, Infinite Lambda
Testing and monitoring data quality are two of the greatest challenges in data modelling. dbt helps you identify and address issues as early as possible, giving millions of modellers peace of mind.

In his talk, Tomas is going to show you:

• How data quality testing works in dbt;
• What types of tests are available in dbt and how to implement them;
• How testing can build data trust and reliability within your organisation;
• How dbt enables you to easily create detailed documentation of your data models and tests.
