Morning event at Hotel St. George Helsinki | 1 October 2026 | 8.00-10.30 am

Work smarter, deliver faster with
Fivetran + dbt Labs and Recordly

How modern data teams reduce engineering effort and accelerate business value

Learnings from modern data teams 

 

 

Breakfast for modern data teams by Fivetran + dbt Labs and Recordly


Today's data teams are expected to deliver more than ever before, but without scaling the team size.

The ones pulling it off made the right architecture choices early — not the ones who hired their way out of the problem. They automate repetitive work, simplify their data operations, and spend more time creating value for the business.

Join Recordly with Fivetran + dbt Labs  for a morning dedicated to getting inspiration from modern data operations. Together, we'll explore how leading organizations are building scalable, efficient data platforms that enable faster analytics, greater reliability, and a stronger foundation for AI.

You'll hear practical experiences from a global organization, learn how modern ELT and transformation workflows work together, and discover how Fivetran + dbt Labs helps eliminate manual data integration so data teams can focus on higher-value work instead of maintaining pipelines.

Fivetran + dbt Labs and Recordly show you:

  • How to run data ops for a global organization with 1.5 FTE
  • How a global fashion & lifestyle client turned a foot-traffic question into an answer in one day
  • Why Fivetran and dbt Labs merged, and what it means for your stack.

You'll also hear from Pekka Wartiainen, Head of Data & Analytics at Caruna and Samuli Mattila, Data Lead, Architect & Developer about how to build an efficient modern data platform for a lower cost with a lean data team without increasing operational overhead.

We welcome all data leaders, data doers, and executives who want the most efficient data teams to our brilliant breakfast at Hotel St. George.

Meet the teams behind Fivetran and dbt Labs in Helsinki.

Following the merger of two of the leading companies in the modern data stack, this breakfast event is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the team, learn how their technologies complement each other, and discuss the future of modern data operations with the people building them.
