🗣️Presentation #1:
Switching the query engine under a dbt project - Lessons from the migration trenches

Description:
Transitioning a dbt project isn't as easy as flipping a switch, but it can be done smoothly under the right conditions. Our first speaker will share the adventures of moving dbt projects across platforms like Redshift, Snowflake, and Databricks. You'll discover key principles for future migrations and gain practical advice on how to organize your dbt project to stay flexible for whatever comes next.

🗣️Presentation #2:
How to supercharge your dbt Testing - Best Practices & Pitfalls

Description:
Testing is essential for gaining user trust, yet it has traditionally been limited (or fully absent) in SQL workflows. Fortunately, dbt provides a robust set of tools to test dbt projects. In this talk, we will cover essential tips and tricks for testing your dbt project, explore various types of tests, and discuss common pitfalls to avoid.
