About
Join us at 5:30pm on the 13th October where we’ll be back at Data Decoded MCR for the second year running! We’ll be at Manchester Central with food, drinks, and – of course – two Snowflake-tastic sessions!
- Leo Pasta @ Snowflake: The Open Lakehouse Meets AI: Why Iceberg Is the Foundation for Enterprise AI Workload
Enterprise AI requires governed, fresh, and interoperable data—not just powerful models. This session shows how Apache Iceberg, Horizon Catalog, and catalog federation create an open lakehouse foundation for AI workloads across engines and clouds, without unnecessary copies or vendor lock-in. - Paul Gray @ Preventix: The Preventx Snowflake Guide to Success
Discover how Preventx is unlocking the full power of Snowflake – using Maia to accelerate ETL, Snowflake ML to detect anomalies and forecast outcomes, and Cortex Agents to turn governed health data into smarter decisions and real-world action.
