As AI agents become major consumers of data, the industry is moving toward open data infrastructure: open standards, portable data, and governed context that people and agents alike can trust. We’re bringing together reliable data movement and trusted transformation to help teams build on that foundation.
Valcon is hosting an evening at our Utrecht office, bringing together Fivetran and dbt Labs to explore what their merger means for the future of data infrastructure. We’ll look at the joint roadmap, dive into the latest technical developments, and share practical insights into what’s next. There’ll also be plenty of time to connect with fellow data specialists over drinks and food.
What you’ll learn
- Why Fivetran and dbt Labs are better together: What the merger means for your stack today, and where the joint roadmap is heading.
- Open Data Infrastructure: Why the industry is shifting toward open standards like Iceberg and Delta Lake, and what that means for building data foundations ready for AI.
- The dbt roadmap: A technical look at what’s new, including dbt Core 2.0 and the Fusion engine, state-aware orchestration with dbt State, and dbt Wizard, the new AI agent grounded in your dbt project.
