The CEO's Case for Snowflake-Native AI Apps, E4
AI agents are rewriting how work gets done, handing individuals a democratized path to productivity while running 24/7 across centralized enterprise data, watching for changes and taking action that genuinely accelerates the business. But the same qualities that make agents powerful also make them dangerous: they need auditing and permissions like the people they replace, answer to humans who require governing, and coordinate with other agents and shifting data at a scale our controls were never built for. Mike Palmer, Sigma's CEO, makes the case for a governed control plane between Snowflake and every AI app.
This session is being conducted under Chatham House Rules. To foster an open and candid discussion, participants are expected to treat all information shared during the session as confidential. Information, comments, viewpoints, and materials discussed may not be referenced, disclosed, attributed, distributed, or shared outside of this session without the express permission of the organizers and participants.

The result is a more resilient, efficient and patient-focused supply model, ensuring the right medication reaches the right patient at the right time.
Enforcing Data Governance at the Orchestration Layer, GO202
Financial institutions don't struggle with governance frameworks. They struggle with enforceability. When regulators ask how an AI decision was produced, most teams cannot prove which data ran, which controls were applied or who approved exceptions. Governance on paper is not governance at runtime. This session shows how leading institutions use orchestration to codify policy, enforce controls, capture audit trails and gate high-risk decisions before they reach agents. We'll ground this in real-world patterns from financial institutions using Airflow and Astro to bring governance and control to their most complex data pipelines.
