Fivetran's annual user/industry conference. 2020 (21-22 Oct) and 2021 (22-23 Sep) were free virtual events; 2021 also had a virtual 'Modern Data Stack Conference EMEA' (not recorded). No 2022 edition (the April 2023 event was billed as the third annual and the first in person). Third and last edition: San Francisco Marriott Marquis, 4-5 Apr 2023. No MDSCon in 2024-2026: Fivetran instead ran smaller half-day 'Modern Data Stack Event Series' / roadshow stops (e.g. Munich 24 Apr 2024; San Francisco, Boston, Denver autumn 2024), which are not recorded. Fivetran merged with dbt Labs in 2025 (see coalesce). Social links are Fivetran corporate accounts (the conference site's footer links them).
