September 28, 2026 · Bay Area
AI Agents for Data Teams
A practical mini-hackathon.
Bring a real data-team problem. Work with others to learn how to use Snowflake’s agentic AI products to find, access and govern data—and build something that adds value to your team.
The September 28 outcome
Leave with something useful.
Progress on a real task
Build and run something useful. No problem is too small if solving it adds value to a team or the company.
A result you can explain
Show what you got running, explain the value it creates and share what you learned along the way.
Start with your work: find the right data, access it appropriately and govern how it is used. Explore documentation, data quality, lineage, discovery, pipelines or another task you care about with AI agents.
