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.

Join us at Valcon's Utrecht office for an evening that reintroduces the combined company, walks through the roadmap, and goes into the technical details of what's new. Then stay for drinks with fellow data specialist.

• 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
