Welcome Address
AI-Powered Development: Can AI Build Our ETL Pipeline in Snowflake & Streamlit? by Frederik Du Plooy & Melanie Dietrich, Data Divers	Is AI here to take our jobs or just make them easier? In this session, we’ll put it to the test by letting AI guide us step-by-step in building a simple ETL pipeline in Snowflake. From ingesting raw data to transforming and visualizing it in Streamlit, let’s see how far we can get in 30 minutes!
Crowd-sourcing a modern Data Platform Architecture by Alex Maund, INX	In this interactive session I will be presenting a data platform architecture that will explore and support strategic and operating model design for B2B software businesses, but equally extendible into other enterprises. I will be exploring a number of the emerging trends including Apache Iceberg, Semantic Layers, Data Observability, Federated Data Teams/Data Contracts, all in the pursuit of supporting a plethora of analytical and AI use-cases that our customers expect. In particular, the ability to have separate product teams own data pipelines, allow a variety of workloads interact with analytical data, but also provide consistency and accuracy in what is provided.
Break
Snowflake Snippets: Tiny Tips for Big Impact by Melanie Dietrich, Simon Yeoman, Paul Symons, Nick Lariviere and Pons Ramalingam	Welcome to “Snowflake Snippets,” a series of interactive, 30-minute sessions where we explore small but impactful Snowflake tricks and invite you to share your own favourite bits of logic. We’ll kick things off with topics like LastQueryID and Dynamic Tables, then open the floor for others to contribute their go-to functions and techniques. Whether you’re here to learn, share, or just discover new ways to work with data, these sessions are all about building up a collection of powerful, practical insights—together!
Wrap Up
Networking Drinks @ Lalla Rookh	Join us at Lalla Rookh (Courtyard + Lounge), Lower Ground (Allendale Square), 77 St Georges Terrace.
