What to Expect From phData at Snowflake Summit 2024

By Izzy OKonek

phData is gearing up for an exciting Snowflake Summit! As a Blue Square sponsor, we’re so pumped for another year of collaboration, innovation, and glimpses into the bright future of data.

In this blog, we’ll explore what phData has in store for Snowflake Summit 2024 in San Francisco!

What is Snowflake Summit?

Snowflake Summit is an annual event hosted by Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company. It serves as a platform for Snowflake users, partners, industry experts, and thought leaders to come together, share insights, discuss best practices, and explore the latest innovations in data management, analytics, and cloud computing. 

Summit typically features keynote speeches, breakout sessions, hands-on workshops, networking opportunities, and product demonstrations aimed at helping attendees better leverage Snowflake’s technology to drive business growth and innovation.

Why You Should Attend Snowflake Data Cloud Summit

If you haven’t attended a Summit event, you’re in for a treat. Most attendees can expect to walk away with stronger connections, new business, better insights into leveraging Snowflake, fresh ideas, new experiences, and so much more. Whether you’re a Snowflake partner (like phData), a platform user, someone considering Snowflake, or simply a data enthusiast, this event has something for everyone.

Where to Find phData

We are located at booth 1315 and will have LOTS going on. From raffle prizes to swag to demos and live Q&A with our experts—there’s something for everyone at phData’s booth.

Our team has designated shifts from Marketing, Leadership, Delivery, AI Engineering, Sales, and more  to ensure our booth is always ready to answer all your questions and discuss everything about data. Additionally, our entire executive team will be present.
