dbt Labs

Four days. A lot happened. We shipped dbt v2. Introduced dbt State, Wizard, Lake Compute, and Charts. Built things in workshops and broke things in the hackathon. Talked agents, context, Iceberg, analytics engineering, and what comes after the modern data stack. But #dbtSummit has never really been about the agenda. It’s the hallway conversations. Meeting the person behind the Slack handle. Comparing notes on the problem you thought only your team had. Helping someone debug something. Leaving with three new ideas you’re already thinking about implementing on Monday. Ten years into dbt, this community is still figuring out what comes next together. Thanks for leveling up with us in Vegas. Now go build something. 🧡

Enough slides. Time to build. At today’s #dbtSummit Data + AI Agent Hackathon, practitioners got hands-on with MCP, agent skills, and dbt to experiment, iterate, debug, and ship working data agents in a single sitting. Some were building their first agent. Others were testing the edges of what’s possible. Either way, code was written. Things broke. Things shipped. 🤖

Build what changed. Skip what didn’t. Do it faster. We caught up with a #dbtSummit attendee after the keynote, and dbt State + Fusion were top of mind. Here’s why they’re excited to get their hands on them. 🎤👇

What a week. 🧡 #dbtSummit wouldn’t be what it is without the partners who show up for this community, share what they’re building, and help push the data ecosystem forward. From Partner Day and the keynote stage to customer sessions and hallway conversations, thank you for bringing your ideas, expertise, and energy to Vegas this week. We’re grateful to build alongside you. Here’s to what we level up next. 🚀

Models are only part of the story. Eventually, someone needs to see what the data is saying. Post-keynote at #dbtSummit, we asked an attendee what she’s most excited about. Visualization was top of mind. Here’s her take 🎤👇

Last day of #dbtSummit 2026. No keynote this morning — today is for building. The hackathon kicks off, the final round of sessions runs, and the hallway conversations get a little longer because nobody wants to leave. If you're here: go to the session you've been putting off. Introduce yourself to one more person. Say thanks to someone whose work you rely on. If you're not: sessions start going on demand next week, and we'll be sharing recaps. Three days in, one to go. Let's finish strong. #dbtCommunity

Today belonged to the dbt community. The Community Keynote this morning celebrated the people who make this thing work — including this year's dbt Community award winners. If your feed is full of people you've only ever known as a Slack handle, that's why. The rest of the day: breakouts, The View on Data recorded live from Vegas, sound healing, trivia, and a swag situation that is going to be a problem for everyone's carry-on. One day left. Friday brings the hackathon and the last round of sessions before we all go home and actually implement what we learned. Missed the keynote? It's available to watch — link in comments. #dbtSummit

The View on Data left the podcast feed and took the #dbtSummit stage. 🎙️ Women from across the data stack came together for an unfiltered conversation about navigating technical careers in analytics, data, and AI, from the lessons learned the hard way to the stories behind the job titles. No polished career advice. Just an honest conversation about building a career in data and finding your people along the way. 🧡

Before loading more context, sometimes you need to clear the cache. 🧘 The #dbtSummit community started this morning with a sound healing meditation, taking a few quiet minutes before another packed day of sessions, demos, and data. Thanks to Euno for the reset.

What does it actually mean to be a dbt Champion? We could give you the official answer. Or we could ask someone who lives it. 🎤 At #dbtSummit, we passed the mic to a Champion to talk about sharing what you know, learning from other practitioners, and helping the dbt community level up. Their take 👇
