Build AI-Ready Data Pipelines with dbt + Snowflake
dbt Labs + Snowflake Hands-On Workshop Series
AI agents are only as good as the data they run on. This lab shows you how to build both.
In this free, hands on session you'll build a complete pipeline — raw data through dbt transformations to a Snowflake Cortex agent that answers natural language questions and takes action. Not a demo. Production-style architecture you can take back to your team. Most pipelines weren't built with AI agents in mind. dbt brings version control, testing, and documentation to your transformations. Snowflake Cortex activates that governed foundation for AI. The result: agents that query data you've already tested and trust — not a black box.
Build, don't just watch
Skip the long presentations and get straight to building in this hands-on lab. Walk away with a real project that mirrors modern analytics workflows.
Fix the layer AI breaks on
Learn how to enforce data quality before it reaches your agents, so your AI outputs are only as wrong as your logic, never your data.
Real skills, real fast
In one morning, go from raw data to a trusted, documented foundation your whole team can build on.
What you'll walk away with
During the lab, you’ll work through a guided project to:
- Hands-on experience with the dbt platform, Snowflake Semantic Views, and Snowflake Cortex
- A reusable architecture pattern — same approach works for customer data, financial metrics, operational reporting
- The lab repo to reference and adapt for your own stack
Analytics Engineers
Stop guessing why your models break downstream. Build the testing and documentation layer that gives your whole stack a backbone.

Senior Data Analysts
Level up from SQL to production-grade dbt workflows — and leave with reusable patterns you can bring back to your team today.
“Preventing human errors with live error detection saves DPG Media valuable time. This feature in Fusion through the dbt VS Code Extension has been a game-changer.”

Find an event near you.
Join us in Dallas, Atlanta, San Diego, and Boston for a hands-on event focused on building AI-ready data pipelines with dbt and Snowflake. Each stop delivers the same expert-led labs and interactive experience — just closer to home. To get the most out of the session, attendees should have basic SQL familiarity, bring a laptop for in-person events, and have (or be ready to create) a Snowflake account. No prior dbt experience is required — just come ready to follow along in a hands-on environment.
Accelerate your workflow
Fusion is the next-generation dbt engine. Built on Rust and equipped with deep SQL comprehension, Fusion powers dbt Studio IDE, Canvas, and our new VS Code extension.
Great data professionals never work alone
