We’re looking for speakers who have put careful thought into getting the fundamentals right. In other words, talks that we can all apply to get better at analytics engineering today vs. talks highlighting outlying technical wizardry. 

A good guiding question to ask yourself is: What is something I’m working on/have worked on recently that I’m proud of and might be valuable for other members in the community?

We're looking for talks that fall into (roughly) these buckets:

Data transformation: Marketing attribution in dbt, Kimball for dbt, structuring your dbt project, writing better SQL

Data testing: building trust, testing with macros, culture of testing

Deployment: deployment best practices, tools, deploying with Airflow

Documentation: impact of good documentation, tools, self-service culture

The modern data stack: choosing the right tools, managing warehouse migrations

The modern data team: hiring and developing talent, improving cross-team collaboration

The closest match for Meltano would be "the modern data stack", but just talking about how cool Meltano is would not be something "that we can all apply to get better at analytics engineering today".

It sounds like it would be more appropriate for a data engineer to talk about how (and why) they integrated Meltano into their existing stack alongside dbt, than to have me (or someone else) just pitch Meltano and talk about how awesome it is. 😄 Do we have any data engineers in here who might be up for that? 🙂
