Invitation
Why attend?
OUTER JOIN is where Metabase users, builders, and data teams come together to share what actually works.
Bring your hardest questions.
Sit down with the people who built the tool.
Leave with ideas you can ship Monday.
Get ready for interactive workshops, practical examples from actual teams, and those spontaneous hallway chats that only occur when everyone is gathered together.

01
Ask the Experts Lab
Bring your own questions and use cases. Sit down with Metabase experts and turn questions into solutions in real time.

Hands-on workshops
Modeling, embedding, performance, AI. Walk through the patterns alongside the people who built them.

Roadmap sessions
What exists today, what's evolving, what's shipping next — including a deep dive into Data Studio, Metabase MCP, and BI with AI.
04
Community showcase
Lightning talks and stories from teams using Metabase across industries, roles, and scales.

Unstructured connection
Networking that isn't networking. Coffee, meals, and shared problems — connections happen naturally.

No single path through the three days. Engage deeply, or move at your pace. Designed for focus and ease.
