Some of our topic highlights include:

• The history of dbt Labs (and the dbt community)
• How community became an opportunity for the dbt Labs team to transfer their internal culture and values outward (and how they did so) 
• The original vision and purpose behind the dbt community (and how it’s matured)
• How community helps data practitioners glean second-hand gold from software engineering (and what this means for functional engineering)
• How real time is real time enough?
• How to help engineers better conceptualize the world of modern data
• The bull and bear cases for the semantic layer
• If data and analytics will develop into a singular-language world
