Snowflake shatters barriers that prevent organizations from unleashing the true value from their data. In this keynote, Frank Slootman, Snowflake’s Chairman and CEO, discusses the rise of the Data Cloud, a network that connects Snowflake customers, partners, data providers, and data service providers across public cloud providers and regions.

Join Anita Lynch, Vice President, Data Governance for The Walt Disney Company’s direct-to-consumer businesses to learn about the central role data governance plays in building a data culture at scale for Disney+. Anita will discuss how the Data Cloud enables the scale, data governance, and modern data sharing needed to generate deeper product insights and better customer experiences for Disney+ globally.

Join Christian Kleinerman, Snowflake’s SVP of Product, to learn about the newest capabilities Snowflake is bringing to market. See demos showing how Snowflake is innovating in the areas of performance, extensible data pipelines, governance and security, and content in the Data Cloud.

Join Benoit Dageville, Snowflake Co-Founder and President, Product, as he shares his vision for the Data Cloud. With its cloud data platform at the core, the vision for Snowflake is both inspiring and actionable, allowing customers to start their journey today while mapping out a plan for how to maximize the value of data into the future. Dageville will share why Snowflake’s cloud data platform is uniquely positioned to unlock this value, how new innovations open up new opportunities, and what the future holds for Snowflake.

Grab your coffee or tea and join us early as the preshow for Data Cloud Summit gets the event started. In less than a decade, Snowflake has become a global force to mobilize the world’s data. Hear from some of Snowflake’s founding engineers how it all started. But more than that, understand the vision, the ability to spot a disruptive opportunity, and the execution required to conceive, build, and deliver a product that continues to transform an entire industry. You’ll walk away with a preview for what’s in store the rest of the day before kicking off the show.

When Texas Mutual Insurance decided to move to the cloud, Snowflake was the clear choice both for its performance and cost-effectiveness. But, designing their data platform was less clear. Rather than assuming what business users would need, Texas Mutual leveraged Alation’s data catalog to understand how data was being used, using those insights to create their cloud data platform with the most trusted, relevant data. Learn how Alation’s data catalog enabled Texas Mutual to pinpoint exactly what data to migrate, which attributes were important, and who the power users were—creating a data platform with Snowflake that caters to the use cases that matter most to the business.

If it feels impossible to reach your data peak, let Slalom’s Modern Culture of Data framework be your guide. Slalom has teamed with Snowflake to help customers ascend a mountain of data and achieve a culture of experimentation and innovation, where everyone can and does use data to make decisions. This session will cover the different “data mountains” organizations face and how Slalom’s Modern Culture of Data framework is necessary to climb these mountains. You’ll hear from The Hartford about how Slalom and Snowflake are helping them reach their own data summit.
Attendees will walk away with an understanding of:
*The different challenges data leaders and data consumers are facing
*How to assess the data culture maturity of their own organization
*The framework needed to overcome their challenges
*Specific solutions to achieving a successful, data-driven culture

Snowflake Developer Advocate Daniel Myers will detail the possibilities for collaboration and product expansion via Github Community Labs with Data Superhero and Labs contributor James Weakley.
