About this event

Join us for a special evening as we celebrate the Snowflake South Africa User Group’s 2nd Birthday on 24 June at 5:00 PM SAST.

This milestone event is themed Community & Collaboration and will bring together Snowflake users, data leaders, technology professionals, and community members for an evening of learning, connection, and celebration.

In this content-packed session, we’ll explore how organisations can unlock more value from their data through collaboration, sharing, and monetisation. The evening will feature a series of short, TED-style talks from experienced speakers who will share practical perspectives on why data collaboration matters, where the opportunities lie, and how Snowflake helps enable secure and scalable collaboration across teams, organisations, and ecosystems.

Spotlight Theme: Community & Collaboration

Data has the greatest impact when it can be shared, governed, and activated effectively. This session will explore the growing importance of data collaboration, sharing, and monetisation, from strategic intent through to practical enablement.

Our speakers will cover:

Data Collaboration, Sharing, and Monetisation Strategy – the “Why”
Understand why data collaboration is becoming a strategic priority and how organisations can think differently about the value of their data assets.

Opportunities for Data Collaboration, Sharing, and Monetisation – the “What”
Explore practical opportunities for organisations to share, exchange, commercialise, and create new value from data across internal and external ecosystems.

Enabling Collaboration with Snowflake – the “How”
Learn how Snowflake enables secure data sharing, collaboration, and scalable data ecosystems through the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.
