In this meetup, we’ll dive into the latest tools and ideas we’ve been shipping — what they unlock, how they fit together, and why we built them the way we did. 🚶 Walk on over after Data + AI Summit (11 minute walk), which wraps up at 2:30pm!

This meetup is designed for builders, thinkers, and tinkerers — folks who want to roll up their sleeves (figuratively), learn from each other, and imagine what’s next for the analytics engineering stack.

Whether you’re curious about what’s new, want to see how others are approaching similar problems, or just want to ask hard questions — you’re in the right place.
