Helsinki Data Week: The Snowflake Experience

This is a full-day event for both business and technical experts, where we’ll explore how organizations are transforming their businesses with open data foundations and AI with experts like Luke Roquet, founder of Datavolo.

You’ll hear directly from Finnish industry leaders at companies like Kesko and Marimekko on how they’re driving value from their data, and deep dive into a fireside chat with SOK on the role of data for decision-makers. 

Whether you’re a business leader looking for real-world case studies or a practitioner seeking a technical deep dive, this day is packed with valuable insights. You can get hands-on with the latest innovations in our Bonus Track or explore topics from our own experts on Snowflake Openflow, Snowflake Intelligence, and Agentic Development.
