Snowflake Expedition Meetup Johannesburg: Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation

Join the Snowflake South Africa User Group in Johannesburg on Wednesday, 11 November for an intermediate, hands-on lab: Build an AI-Ready Data Foundation with Snowflake.

Everyone wants AI that gives real, trustworthy answers. Very few teams have the data foundation that makes that possible. Great AI experiences start with data people can understand and trust, and this session shows you how to build that foundation.

What you'll do

You'll explore how Snowflake connects data across platforms and helps turn it into a foundation for analytics and AI. You'll use Snowflake CoCo to work through practical data engineering challenges, then see how the resulting data can support natural-language questions in Snowflake CoWork.

You'll leave with a clearer picture of

  • How Snowflake connects data across platforms into one trusted foundation
  • How to tackle practical data engineering challenges with CoCo
  • What it takes to build the data layer behind a useful AI experience in CoWork

Who should come

Data engineers, analytics engineers, architects and technical practitioners who are comfortable with SQL and data pipelines and want to get their data ready for AI.

What to bring

Bring your own laptop, fully charged. A Snowflake trial account will be provided ahead of the session. Spaces are limited, so save yours early.
