Streams, Queries & Quacks: A Data Meetup with Estuary & MotherDuck

Ever wondered how to turn your company's Slack conversations into an intelligent, queryable knowledge base? Join us for an evening where we'll demo building LLM ready real-time data pipelines.

We'll walk through:

Streaming Slack data into MotherDuck using Estuary's real-time CDC pipelines

Implementing RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) patterns on conversational data

Making your data warehouse AI-ready with smart metadata enrichment

Hear from Jonathan Wihl (Solutions Engineer at Estuary), on how to build reliable real-time data pipelines that keep your AI applications fed with fresh data, no batch jobs required. Jacob Matson (Developer Advocate at MotherDuck) will share practical techniques for preparing your warehouse for AI workloads. This includes discovering & documenting hidden relationships in your data that go beyond simple foreign keys, the kind of metadata enrichment that dramatically improves text-to-SQL accuracy.

After the demos & Q&A, we'll cap off the evening with a classic trivia night - focused on our favorite topic, data! All experience levels are welcome with always the option to watch from the sidelines. Whether you're implementing AI features in production, preparing your data stack for LLMs, exploring how data pipelines enable intelligent applications, or just AI-curious, come learn something new, meet our hosts, & connect with the community over bites, bevys + some swag.

This is an intimate event. Apply to secure your spot.
