This year, the summit will gather the brightest minds in the sector to deliver insights on\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">AI<\/span>\u00a0and cloud computing. Industry leaders from companies such as CDW, NVIDIA, Microsoft, J.P. Morgan, Meta, ServiceNow, CNN, and NBCUniversal will converge to learn about the latest innovations from Snowflake, used daily by nearly 10,000 customers to break down silos and develop and distribute modern applications.<\/i><\/p>\n<h2><b>The Scale of Snowflake Summit 2024<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cThis year promises to be our biggest user conference yet,\u201d says Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy. The summit will introduce the newest\u00a0generative AI\u00a0solutions, Apache Iceberg systems, and services to improve next-generation cloud computing. Attendees can expect a plethora of sessions focused on making AI trustworthy and credible, enhancing data governance for generative AI, and synchronizing data across platforms and departments.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Making AI Trustworthy and Credible<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>One of the key themes of the summit is the need to make AI easy to use and trusted. \u201cWe want AI to become easy to use. We want it to become trusted,\u201d says Ramaswamy. The challenge lies in ensuring that AI is not only ethical and unbiased but also tells an accurate story with data.<\/p>\n<p>Wendi O\u2019Neill, senior director of CDW\u2019s data and analytics presales team, emphasizes that the accuracy of AI is critical: \u201cIf we\u2019re making decisions based on AI, they better be accurate.\u201d The summit will feature discussions on the relationship between data and AI, with Ramaswamy and Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, sharing insights on how IT leaders can turn data into actionable insights to build \u201cdata-centric\u201d organizations.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Strategies to Reduce Errors in AI<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Experts at the summit, including Tom Gray, principal of financial services and data collaboration at Snowflake; Balaram Keshri, vice president of architecture at Fidelity Investments; and Zach Lancaster, data engineer and information designer at WarnerMedia, will share strategies to reduce errors in AI. These strategies include data observability and deploying AI co-pilots for precise error identification.<\/p>\n<p>A significant focus will be on building data pipelines that support business goals. This involves ensuring data integrity, enhancing data visualization, and maximizing data value to stakeholders. \u201cIt\u2019s about being really methodical,\u201d says Phil Andriyevsky, principal of wealth and access management, data, and analytics at EY. He stresses the importance of refactoring data correctly to ensure it is consumable and digestible by business stakeholders.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Synchronizing Data Across Platforms<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The ability to\u00a0synchronize data\u00a0across different platforms and departments is another critical aspect discussed at the summit. According to O\u2019Neill, this creates \u201ca single source of truth,\u201d fostering collaboration and partnership between companies. \u201cSnowflake lets you stitch together the best tools with the capability you need, and then you can get an integrator like CDW to do the work,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Reimagining Data Governance for Generative AI<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Data governance, privacy, and security are also on the agenda. Too often, data governance is viewed solely as a set of privacy controls. However, O\u2019Neill argues that it actually facilitates generative AI innovation. \u201cIn the era of AI, we should be looking at data governance with a new lens, and that is how to make our data more usable,\u201d she says. The summit will explore how data governance can help organizations get more usability out of their data in the context of\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">AI<\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Managing Data Governance with Snowflake<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>CDW Data Quality Lead Ben Castleton and Chief Data Architect Rex Washburn will present on managing data governance with Snowflake Horizon and Snowflake Data\u00a0\u00a0<span class=\"google-anno-t\">Cloud<\/span>. They will cover meeting compliance standards and leveraging data analytics for strategic decision-making.<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Future of AI<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The summit will also delve into what the future holds for AI. With rapid advancements in AI technology, organizations must navigate the transition to more integrated and effective AI systems. The discussions will focus on how AI can be used not just for automation but as a strategic tool to drive business transformation.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Snowflake\u2019s Data Cloud Summit 2024 is set to be a landmark event, bringing together leading experts to discuss the latest trends and innovations in AI and cloud computing.
