ADBC Office Hours
ADBC is the modern database connectivity standard gaining momentum across the analytics and AI ecosystem. Join this Office Hours session for a rare chance to meet three of the key people behind its growth and adoption:
Felipe Oliveira Carvalho
Staff Software Engineer at dbt Labs, Felipe has been the driving force behind the implementation of ADBC in the dbt Fusion engine and is a contributor to the ADBC infrastructure for Rust.
Curt Hagenlocher
Software Engineer at Microsoft, Curt developed much of the ADBC infrastructure for C# and led the implementation of ADBC inside Microsoft Power BI, where it is slated to replace ODBC as the standard connector interface.
David Li
Co-founder at Columnar, David is the original creator of ADBC, its lead maintainer, and the builder of many of the core drivers and libraries that make ADBC work across languages and data systems.
