You're invited to an exciting meetup on May 21st, 2025, at the Microsoft New England Research and Development Center in Cambridge, MA! Doors will open at 5:30 pm, and the event will begin at 6:00 pm

You can look forward to an evening of networking and learning (and Snowflake provided food and drink)

Talk 1: Demystifying Generative AI in Snowflake: A Live Prompt Engineering Demo

David Garrison (National Grid) will share tips to help you unlock the full potential of generative AI in Snowflake with hands-on prompt engineering! In this live demo, we'll build and refine prompts from scratch, showcasing how to harness LLM-powered features like Cortex Analyst, Document AI and Cortex functions. See real-time development, practical use cases and best practices to get the most out of Snowflake’s AI capabilities — whether for extracting insights, automating workflows or enhancing data pipelines with AI-driven intelligence.

Talk 2: Scaling Data Science: Build & Deploy with Snowflake Cortex, Snowflake Notebooks

Kishore Aradhya (Northeastern University) will show how Frontdoor, a leading provider of home service plans, is transforming how homeowners maintain and repair their homes through AI-driven solutions. Learn how they transitioned data science and analytics developers from decentralized environments to Snowflake Notebooks at scale.

Join us to explore key development patterns supporting gen AI, classic ML, Graph RAG and Graph Analytics, enabling efficient model development and deployment. FrontDoor prioritized data gravity throughout this transition, consolidating computational workloads within the Snowflake ecosystem to maximize performance and efficiency.

We'll leave plenty of time afterwards for Q&A and further networking.

We look forward to seeing you there.
