Sessions

What's New: Revolutionizing Data Movement with Snowflake Openflow, WN212B

Learn how to bring all your data together with Snowflake Openflow to build with limitless interoperability and deployment flexibility, no matter if it's structured, unstructured, batch or streaming data. Make your integration pipelines ready for AI and the future.

What's New: Scaling Data Pipelines with SQL, dbt Projects, and Python , WN215B

Learn how to efficiently scale and manage data engineering pipelines with Snowflake's latest native capabilities for transformations and orchestration with SQL, Python, and dbt Projects on Snowflake. Join us for new product and feature overviews, best practices, and live demos.

What's New Session: Build a Better Enterprise Lakehouse with Native Support for Apache Iceberg Tables™, WN201B

Rethink how you build open, connected, and governed data lakehouses: integrate any Iceberg REST compatible catalog to Snowflake to securely read from and write to any Iceberg table with Catalog Linked Databases. Unlock insights and AI from semi-structured data with support for VARIANT data types. And enjoy enterprise-grade security with Snowflake's managed service for Apache Polaris™, Snowflake Open Catalog.

Building Open Pipelines: Choose Your Own Adventure, DE215

This session will show customers how to build end-to-end open pipelines in Snowflake with Snowflake Open Catalog and integration service! Join us to choose from open architecture and pipeline options, and you get to decide what we build with. During the demo, we will build an integreation pipeline to ingest data from a source of your choice into an Iceberg table in Snowflake, transform it, register the tables in Open Catalog, and query the data from both Snowflake and a third-party query engine. And here's the real kicker: The audience get to pick the direction we go. Don't miss out this fun, demo session with us. 

Easily and Cost-Efficiently Managing Data Transformation Pipelines on Snowflake, DE109

Data engineers often face the challenge of creating complex data transformation pipelines while balancing infrastructure overhead, debugging inefficiencies and cost control. Attendees will learn best practices for building scalable and cost-efficient data transformation pipelines with built-in telemetry enhancing monitoring and debugging capabilities. By leveraging automation and managed services in Snowflake, engineers can focus on delivering insights rather than maintaining infrastructure. Join us to discover how to simplify data pipeline management, optimize costs and improve reliability in modern data ecosystems.

How Booking.com Is Architecting Scalable Python Frameworks for the AI Data Cloud, AR220
