Fivetran, the leading automated data integration provider, announced the return of the Modern Data Stack Conference, the live virtual conference dedicated to the community of data professionals who have helped develop and evangelize the modern data stack. The two-day event will bring together hundreds of data analysts, data engineers and other data-driven professionals to share the latest technology and best practices in modern analytic processes and technologies.

With a spotlight this year on transformation, speakers and presenters will focus on the transformations they experienced within their analytics teams and the new insights and tooling they enabled. They will also share the best practices they employ to drive data-driven insights. Attendees of all professional levels — from longtime veterans to industry newcomers — will learn strategies, tactics and tools to help their organizations become data-driven. Throughout the event, community-building activities and networking sessions will be available to drive peer-to-peer conversations and encourage collaboration.
