- Notes
- dbt Labs announced its merger with Fivetran on Oct 13, 2025, during the event; keynote by both CEOs. Last edition under the Coalesce name (2026 renamed dbt Summit). Site ran on Cvent (JS-rendered, not archived), so sponsor tiers and ticket prices were not found; dbt blog mentions 30% off for 3+ registrations in one order. Speakers: names and companies of all 164 publicly listed speakers from the Cvent event data (session titles are no longer exposed there); talk titles, abstracts and videos for recorded sessions from the 'Coalesce 2025' YouTube playlist descriptions. Speakers without a recorded talk have talk_title null. Catalog re-check 2026-11-09: the Cvent event is archived; its session API now returns names only for the 17 paid trainings/certifications (no speakers attached), and the other ~160 agenda sessions have no titles. The getdbt.com Coalesce on-demand library lists 72 recorded 2025 sessions, the same talks already recorded here (two, 'dbt data migration: Best practices for large scale projects' and 'How to promote governed dbt workflows for more collaborators', name no speakers). So the full Coalesce 2025 session list is only partly recovered: unrecorded breakout titles are missing.
