About this event

🗓️ Event Details

The Season of BUILD is a global initiative created to connect developers and builders who are innovating on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud. This is your chance to get an exclusive, deep dive on the product capabilities announced at our virtual BUILD conference.

This isn’t your typical tech talk. This is a learning opportunity to explore new features and connect with other builders and local experts who are at the forefront of the Snowflake ecosystem. Come together with your peers in Sydney to learn, collaborate and strengthen your network.

âś… What to Expect

  • Snowflake Intelligence: Discover the future of data interaction in this tech talk on Snowflake Intelligence. We will move beyond traditional analytics by exploring the architecture of a complete, AI-powered agent that can understand and act on your data. The journey begins with a look at Snowflake's latest AI SQL functions for intelligently enriching datasets. From there, we will demonstrate how Cortex Search unlocks insights from unstructured documents and see how Cortex Analyst translates complex business questions into precise SQL queries. This session culminates in showcasing how these powerful features can be integrated with custom UDFs to construct a comprehensive Snowflake Intelligence agent capable of answering sophisticated questions. You will leave with a clear blueprint for designing and deploying end-to-end, AI-powered analytical applications, all within your Snowflake environment.
