Heard of Snowflake and curious about what it can do for your team / organisation – but not sure where to start? This day was built for you.
Designed exclusively for Ontario’s Public Service and Broader Public Service community, this full-day workshop and hackathon shows how a single, unified platform can make data operations simpler, more cost-effective, and lower risk — without sacrificing user experience or governance.
The day opens with the Township of King sharing how their small-team municipality, with no deep technical expertise, made significant progress and is now delivering insights at scale – all from english based prompts. Then every participant builds a working AI agent from scratch in our guided Build-a-Bot lab before we break for lunch and Networking.
In the afternoon, teams bring a genuine challenge from their own organisation and – with dedicated Snowflake engineer support – build a working solution. Every team walks away with a prototype they can act on. The top teams win a dedicated Snowflake engagement to develop and deploy their solution as a formal pilot project.
Seats are strictly limited. If you’ve been looking for a practical, hands-on way to see what’s possible – and to walk away with a working solution to a problem that actually matters to your organisation – this is it. Please note that registrants and Hackathon participants are on a first-come, first-served basis so be sure to register yourself and share this with your teammates now!
