It's that time of year again! The highly anticipated Snowflake Summit conference is just around the corner, taking place on June 26th. As a data expert and an avid writer, I've committed to blogging daily during the Summit to keep you updated on all the exciting happenings. So, fasten your seatbelts as we embark on this exhilarating journey together!

Get ready for an unforgettable experience

This year, Snowflake Summit offers an incredible opportunity to attend in person. But wait, there's more! The organizers have truly outdone themselves by introducing live streams of the keynotes and recording most of the sessions. Gone are the days of missing out on valuable content. Whether you're attending in person or remotely, this Summit promises to be an unforgettable experience.

 

Logistics made simple

Let's start with the logistics. The event will take place at the magnificent Caesars Forum, so make sure not to confuse it with the Caesars Hotel, which also has a conference center. The new Conference Center is conveniently located behind the LINQ Hotel and Harrah. Need a place to stay? The LINQ is the closest hotel, ensuring you're always close to the Summit's buzz.

 


 

Basecamp: Your gateway to all things Summit

Get ready to be wowed at Basecamp—the central hub for all things Summit. Here, you'll find delicious food, a bustling exhibition area with booths from sponsors and Snowflake (make sure you visit us at Booth 1952-A on the Snow Row section), demo stations, and the much-awaited Dev Zone. Countless live sessions on various topics will keep you engaged and inspired. Don't miss the Ask the Expert sessions, and if you're a Snowflake Certified professional, there's even a cozy lounge where you can take a break from the buzz. This year's cool feature is an All Female Hackathon on Monday from 9 AM to 3 PM.
