Athens dbt Meetup #3 - Transformation at Scale & Data Discovery

Welcome back to the dbt meetup Athens -our third event and one last gathering before summer! We’re excited to bring the community together once again, this time hosted by Agile Actors.

After an inspiring second meetup with colleagues from dbt Labs, we’re keeping the momentum going. This time, we’re bringing you two real-world data stories: Panagiotis Ntarzanos (Data Product Owner, Agile Actors), David Koeszegi and Matthias Oberleitner (Solutions Architects, Austrian Post) will present: From Stored Procs to ref(): A Multi-Billion-Row Migration to dbt, followed by George Ntaskas (Data Engineering Manager, GWI) with Data Discovery as a First-Class Citizen in the Modern Data Stack —but that’s not where it ends. The second half of the event will be a live Q&A session, giving the Greek dbt community a rare chance to ask questions, challenge assumptions, and get insights.

Come for the talks, stay for the community.
We’re looking forward to seeing familiar faces, meeting new ones, and continuing to grow the dbt community in Athens.
👀 See you there!

PS For the first time, the session will also be available remotely for those who can’t join in person. The streaming link will be shared very soon 👀
