Snowflake can power advanced data applications across many use cases. In this session, you will learn common architectural patterns used by our customers and dive deep into the Snowflake features that are most useful when building and managing data apps. Speakers will cover Snowpipe, scaling workloads, performance optimizations, and securing applications.
Personalizing Customer Experiences at Data-Obsessed Companies
Companies are using data analysis in novel ways to meet fluid consumer needs. From personalizing experiences with real-time data to making programmatic optimizations for supply chains and service delivery, «data-obsessed» companies are pioneering new ways to harness data to drive improvements for their customers and their bottom line. You will learn how Kraft Heinz, Albertsons, and Instacart are leveraging Snowflake’s Data Cloud to drive their businesses forward by redefining collaboration, delivering better customer experiences, and creating new revenue streams through data monetization.
Snowflake’s Data Cloud for Advertising in a Cookieless World
Effective marketing and advertising are essential to driving growth, but the landscape is rapidly changing due to escalating regulatory requirements and the deprecation of third-party cookies. To succeed, businesses need to develop new, secure methods for accessing and sharing audience and engagement data. In this session with NBCUniversal (NBCU), Capgemini, and Snowflake, you will learn how the unique and innovative capabilities of the Data Cloud are enabling seamless data sharing without data copies or movement.
How to Power Rapid Transformation in Financial Services with Snowflake
Rising customer expectations, the need for digitization of mission-critical processes, increased regulatory requirements, and the fact that many companies are transforming traditional financial services business models mean there has never been a greater need to rapidly transform and innovate to stay ahead of the competition. It’s difficult for companies to address these trends head-on due to reliance on legacy, siloed technology, and processes that prevent visibility and cannot drive meaningful business decisions. In this session, you will learn about how the Data Cloud is powering financial services firms such as Western Union, Goldman Sachs, and FINOS as well as partner Deloitte.
