2026 State of Analytics Engineering

🌐 Global friendly sessions April 29 & 30

Analytics teams are shipping faster than ever, with AI now embedded in how code gets written, tested, and deployed. At the same time, trust, governance, and cost control are under more pressure than ever.

The results are in! The 2026 State of Analytics Engineering report is now live and it shows a clear shift: AI is accelerating output faster than foundations can keep up.

So how are teams actually balancing speed with trust without breaking things?

Join us for a dynamic discussion with three top minds in data and analytics: Katie Bauer (Hex), Jay Sobel (Ramp), and Jason Ganz (dbt Labs) as they break down the biggest shifts shaping analytics engineering in 2026 and what they mean for your data work.

In this live virtual event, you’ll get a clear, unfiltered view into how experienced teams are navigating:

  • The shift from AI experimentation to everyday workflows
  • Where trust is breaking down—and how teams are addressing it
  • The tension between moving faster and maintaining control
  • Increasing infrastructure costs and the pressure to operate efficiently

Save your seat for April 29 or 30 to go beyond the report, ask your questions live, and walk away with a clearer plan for what to do next. We’ll also be randomly selecting a few attendees for fun giveaways as a thank-you for joining us live. 🎉
