How Data for Breakfast works
The "Data for Breakfast" events offer an immersive experience for data professionals, structured around a dynamic agenda that combines learning, experience sharing, and networking.
Participants are typically welcomed around 8:30 AM for a breakfast where they can network. At 9:30 AM, the session begins with an in-depth introduction to Snowflake's Data Cloud, explaining how attendees can accelerate their data strategy to leverage innovations in AI, ML, and applications.
Technical Sessions and Live Demonstrations
After the break, sessions often resume with technical demonstrations, showing the real-time use and benefits of Snowflake.
