About the speakers:

**🎤 Leonardo Vida (MotherDuck)**
Leonardo Vida helps data teams of all sizes adopt DuckDB-powered analytics across cloud and local stacks. Formerly a senior data engineer and consultant, he designed data platforms across sectors from FMCG to insurance, and is interested in database-centric AI workloads, particularly building analytics agents with DuckDB

**🎤 Lasse Benninga (LaBenni Consulting)**
*I’m Lasse Benninga, a freelance data/analytics engineer with 7+ years of experience in the data field. Having worked as a consultant for the past 5 years, I’ve now transitioned into freelancing and help clients with a variety of challenges from scanning their current data stack to helping implement data warehouses and software solutions. I also offer a scan for SMB to help them in their next steps to increase data maturity and AI-readiness: https://data-apk.nl*

About the talks:

**The state of Freelance Data Jobs in the fall of 2025, using dashboarding-as-code**
Dashboarding-as-code, the practice of defining dashboards using code instead of solely in the UI, has become more popular in recent years. In this talk I will show the benefits of defining charts and visuals using code, while simultaneously diving into the Dutch Freelancing market for “Data jobs” over the past couple of months. We will take a look at the noticeable effects of the Dutch Tax Authority rules for false-employment/schijnzelfstandigheid in the data field, and which job titles and technologies are hot nowadays while showing the power of code for quick iterations.

**DuckLake + dbt: Time traveling with SQL, metadata, and a little AI**
We’ll take a hands-on look at using DuckLake behind dbt: how inserts land, how to time travel your data, and how to see what changed between runs. I’ll show some handy dbt macros plus a few tricks for skipping a heavy metrics layer and leaning on AI to suggest columns and comments instead.

**18:00**–**19:30** – 💬 Speaker Sessions

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.
