Join us for our next Snowflake Skilled & Chilled breakfast session. This practical, no-fluff morning is designed for anyone who works with Snowflake, whether you're managing costs, writing pipelines, or exploring what AI can do for your business.
WHEN
Thursday 23 July 2026, 8:30 - 11:00
WHERE
Weaver's Nest, Mount Edgecombe Country Club, 4302
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Data engineers, analysts, IT decision-makers, and business leaders who want to get more value from their Snowflake investment.
WHY ATTEND
πΈTake control of your Snowflake spend Stop guessing whether a bigger warehouse is worth the extra credits. Our first session puts real numbers on the table in live benchmark comparisons across warehouse sizes, plus a practical query you can run against your own account the same day to identify where costs are quietly climbing.
π§ Learn from real-world experience, not the docs Our data engineer's "lessons from the trenches" session skips the theory and gets straight to what actually matters in production. The patterns that save time, the mistakes that cost money, and the habits that make daily Snowflake work smoother. Honest, conversational, and immediately applicable.
π€ See the future of business intelligence - live Watch a working AI agent get built from scratch and then deployed directly into Microsoft Teams, where anyone on your team can simply chat with your data in plain language, no dashboard, no SQL required. This is Snowflake Cortex in action, and it's already generally available.
π€ Connect with your peers Two dedicated networking sessions give you space to share experiences, ask the questions of Keyrus experts and your peers from across the industries.
