I'm interested in hearing more on populating iceberg tables and how companies are connecting/leveraging snowflake with their data lakes.

I can also present on a few topics if anyone is interested, including our journey implementing Data Mesh at ESO, commercial uses of Snowflake Reader accounts for self-service data access, dynamic tables in ELT, and optimization of relational models in Snowflake.

Exploring how Snowflake supports Lakehouse models - keen to learn from others approaches and experiences.

In Johnson Controls, we are implementing Medallion Architecture from the scratch. I want to hear from experts, the approach to implement Silver Layer in Snowflake. (also best orchestration tool) We are also exploring the option of adopting AWS moving away from Azure for compute and storage. Like to hear from ESO and other clients the pitfalls and pain points of AWS adoption.

Any experiences on Data Quality and data metrics functions in Snowflake?

Hi Danny,

We would love to present on the following topic if people are interested:

From Raw to Ready: Building High-Trust Pipelines on Snowflake with Orbit

Snowflake makes storage and compute simple; the challenge is building reliable, cost-aware, and observable pipelines on top. In this session, we’ll show how Orbit Analytics Data Pipelines orchestrate ingestion, transformations, and data products natively on Snowflake—using Streams & Tasks, Snowpipe, and Snowpark—while giving teams lineage, quality gates, and cost controls out-of-the-box. We’ll walk through a live demo that ingests event data, runs incremental ELT, enforces tests, and serves a governed, query-ready model—then we’ll open the hood to see how it’s wired and how to run it at scale.

We can present this presentation in person as we are headquartered in Atlanta . You an email me at sarah.shackley@orbitanalytics.com if you have more questions. Thanks, Sarah
