Here’s why you (and your team) should attend Coalesce 2025

Coalesce 2025 is approaching quickly: Oct. 13-16 in Las Vegas. This is the premier event for data teams to come together to rewrite the future of data work, but if you haven’t been before, you might not know what to expect. Join your peers to share the ideas, learn about the latest innovations changing how data gets done, and learn how dbt can help you advance your career. Coalesce is the highlight of the year for the dbt community. Here are a few reasons to attend Coalesce 2025 in Las Vegas:

Reason #1: Connect with the data community

This is your chance to be in person with the leading minds doing data work. Connect in-person with the people you only know from Slack, or get back in touch with old friends you haven't seen in a year. Coalesce is where everyone in the dbt community gets together to swap ideas, celebrate wins, and talk data & AI.

The data world is growing fast. Here’s your chance to make the human connection with the community that you’ve chosen to be a part of. These are your people.

Reason #2: Solve problems together

Year after year, we hear feedback that the Coalesce peer exchanges are some of the most powerful and important components of the week. These small-group forums bring the data community together to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in analytics work today. Wherever you are in your data journey, there’s a good chance someone at Coalesce has been there and is ready to swap notes.

Here are some of the 2025 peer exchanges (so far):

• Analysts-on-dbt: A collaborative forum for analytics practitioners
• Iceberg, the truth and the hype of multi-engine data stacks
• Onboarding junior analytics engineers: Lessons, pitfalls, and practical strategies
• Test smarter, not harder: A peer exchange

Reason #3: Discover the tools and learn the practices that are rewriting data work

Breakout sessions, training, hands-on labs, mingle, and repeat. Coalesce is unlike any other data gathering in its opportunities to learn, get hands-on practice, and leave with skills you can apply immediately.

Join any of the 70+ of breakout sessions on analytics development best practices, embracing AI, fostering data quality and trust, empowering self-service analytics, building dbt at scale, and bringing data modernization to your organization.

This is an unparalleled chance to hear directly from data experts who are rewriting how teams collaborate at enterprise scale, who gets to build with data, and how trust is earned in data.

Sign up for training with dbt experts, and leave with skills that you and your team can apply immediately:

• Getting started with dbt
• Becoming a dbt Architect
• Developing with dbt Canvas
• Cross-platform Mesh with Iceberg Tables
• Managing costs with dbt
• Building a data quality framework with dbt
• Upgrading to Fusion

Join hands-on labs with dbt resident architects, solutions architects and technical instructors. We provide the sandbox, and you get hands-on experience with the new dbt Fusion Engine, dbt Copilot, dbt Semantic Layer, dbt Canvas, and analytics workflows in dbt.

And if you’re ready, get your dbt Analytics Engineering Certification or your dbt Architect Certification.

Reason #4: Coalesce is the ultimate data team offsite

Data teams that come to Coalesce together leave as better data teams. And if you register 3+ people in one order, you automatically save 30% on Coalesce registration.

No awkward trust falls. Just you and your team learning from others' successes and failures and gaining skills that directly benefit your team and organization. This is your chance to make your team feel connected with each other and to the larger data community that they're a part of.

The conference is built for teams to divide and conquer during breakout sessions, share learnings at breaks, and regroup energized for the epic parties and events. Coalesce is fun. And it’s designed to be fun for all sorts. It’s Las Vegas after all.

You're probably the dbt champion at your organization. You can also be the champion of your data team by bringing them to the best place for a data team to be.

Reason #5: Experience a community that wants you to win

There’s nothing else like the dbt community in the data space. You may have joined a dbt meetup. You may be active in dbt Slack. But the place where the dbt community really shows up is at Coalesce. And how the community shows up is by helping each other grow.

Join the Women in Data session to connect and share notes with folks on their journeys through tech. Grab a seat at a product roundtable and build with your peers. Celebrate the wins of the dbt community this year, and come together to point where we head next.

This is your community. This is your Coalesce. Rewrite how data work gets done.
