- - TOPICS & SPEAKERS --
1️⃣ Modern Data Stack vs Modern Data People
Speaker: Viktoria Horvath, Analytics Engineer @ Infinite Lambda

Viki often helps data teams get started with dbt and the Modern Data Stack. In this talk, she will look into the most common challenges that people face but often do not voice. Join this session to get answers to the burning questions that are sure to come up while working on your first dbt project or having just started a new role in analytics. Viki will share insights, show you how to seek support and point you to valuable resources to set you up for success.

2️⃣ Fighting the Fear of Change: My Shift from a Marketer to an Analytics Engineer
Speaker: Alina Serhiienko, Analytics Engineer @ Slido

Alina had extensive experience in marketing she intended to keep building on. Yet, upon moving to Slovakia and starting her dream career at Slido in 2022, she discovered she was too passionate for data not to pursue a career in the field. She made a transition and is now a member of Slido’s analytics team. Alina will be sharing her story, shedding light on how modern tools such as dbt facilitate such a career change and make it easier for folks to enter the data industry.

3️⃣ How dbt Helps You Sleep at Night (Part 2)
