dbt Summit 2026

dbt Summit 2026 is dbt Labs' annual analytics-engineering conference, held 15-18 September 2026 at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. It is the renamed continuation of Coalesce, reflecting the company's shift from a community gathering for dbt users into an industry summit covering the wider AI-ready data stack, a repositioning reinforced by dbt Labs' merger with Fivetran. Tuesday 15 September is Partner Day; the main conference runs Wednesday to Thursday with more than 100 sessions across seven tracks — analytics engineering practice, dbt at scale, Winning with Fusion, powering AI-ready data, building agentic data workflows, data modernization and delivering business outcomes. Keynotes, breakouts, hands-on labs, peer exchanges, Discovery Hall experiences, the Expert Lounge, meals and social events are included in the pass, and a limited number of free training and certification places are allocated at checkout.

• ✓Data platform engineer
• ✓BI team lead
• ✓Chief Data Officer

If your analytics platform runs on dbt, this is the one place the roadmap, the Fusion engine and the post-Fivetran direction are explained by the people building them — Tristan Handy and George Fraser both present. The practical draw is the track on governed, AI-ready data, which is the prerequisite most agent projects actually fail on. Practitioner sessions from Nordstrom, Bolt, Docusign, Riot Games and Figma give you migration and cost-control patterns from teams at comparable scale, and certification places come free with the pass, so an engineer can return credentialed rather than just briefed.

• ✓'Winning with Fusion' track for teams evaluating the dbt Fusion engine
