  1. Refactoring dbt the Hard Way: Lessons Learned While Rebuilding Our Project Structure
    Speaker: Olga Surkova (Senior Data Analyst at Keepit)
    Refactoring a large dbt project isn’t just about renaming models - it’s about understanding what went wrong and redesigning for long-term scalability. In this talk, learn how the team at Keepit approached a full-scale dbt refactor, the challenges they faced, and what they learned along the way. You’ll see real examples of DAG restructuring, Jinja pattern improvements, and validation checks that kept everything running smoothly.

  2. Building a Scalable Data Mesh with dbt and Snowflake at Velux
    Speaker: Thomas Schrum Nicolet (Platform Engineer at Velux)
    Learn how Velux is building a scalable data mesh from the ground up using dbt to design and model data products in Snowflake. This session explores how dbt serves as the single source of truth, and how the team uses custom and enhanced macros to simplify data engineering workflows and accelerate data delivery.

  3. Building Resilient Data Pipelines for Embedded Analytics
    Speaker: Martha Scheffler (Data Engineer at Qarma)
    Discover how Qarma built a resilient data platform architecture using blue-green deployment strategies powered by Snowflake zero-copy clones and dbt macros. This talk also dives into orchestrating multiple dbt projects with Kestra - from serial execution for ingestion pipelines to parallel processing for scalable analytics delivery.
