We're excited to kick off the Edinburgh User Group with a bang!

Join us for our first in-person meetup on June 10th, hosted at the Blend office on Floor 3 of 33 Castle Street (right next to Chaophraya). Join us for an evening of learning, networking, and community building!

For this inaugural session, we have a fantastic two-part agenda:

• AI-Native Data Engineering: Building with Cortex AI and Code Join Abhi Singh to explore how applied AI is reshaping data engineering pipelines. From integrating managed language models to automating complex data workflows, this session breaks down how Cortex is redefining practical AI, offering actionable insights for architecting the next generation of data pipelines.

• Debriefing Snowflake Summit Join Douglas Day, South Africa Snowflake User Group Chapter Leader and Data Superhero, for a recap of the biggest themes, announcements, and innovations emerging from the Snowflake Summit in San Francisco. From AI and apps to data engineering and governance, this session explores the latest trends shaping the Snowflake ecosystem, with a few insights into the importance of building strong data communities.
