​See What Happened in the Bay Area Last Month

​Last month’s AI panel at Snowflake’s Menlo Park office ran nearly 30 minutes longer than planned because of the high engagement and great questions from the audience.

One panelist said, “When AI is built to fit directly into existing workflows, adoption isn’t a challenge. It becomes a competitive advantage.”

​That energy is now coming to Toronto, don’t miss it.
