Once again I attended the Snowflake Summit, this year in San Francisco (the previous two years, the Summit was held in Las Vegas). The climate in San Francisco is much pleasanter than the desert heat in Las Vegas and the venue was the Moscone center which was large enough to comfortably accommodate the incredibly huge masses of attendees. Snowflake is popular, even with students from nearby universities who dropped by on the last day which was focused on Builders with Snowflake.
It was so much fun catching up with my fellow Superheroes again. I enjoyed hanging around the Snowflake Community space, chatting with attendees and sharing information about Snowflake. I also spent some time helping out with the FrostyFriday booth where participants solved Snowflake challenges for prizes.
Snowflake ML Functions
The highlight of my Summit was my presentation about Snowflake Forecasting ML Functions. I was thrilled that the session was well attended and that the audience was engaged by asking questions and wanting follow-up information. The presentation was based on my Medium blog that I wrote some time ago. The code I demonstrated is available as as Jupyter notebook in my GitHub repo.
All in all, the Summit was excellent, as always. The best part? Seeing myself on the billboard at the Builders Keynote, that was amazing!
