Snowflake & AWS - Riyadh

Thank you To Riyadh, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Snowflake!

This week at COYA one of the best restaurants in Riyadh, Snowflake alongside Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosted a number of Data & AI thought leaders to discuss: Empowering Our Organizations with Comprehensive, Accurate, and Available Data that Maximizes Business Value!

The evening started in the private gardens of the restaurant for a networking hour filled with delicious canapés and conversation so everyone could meet and greet each other.

Everybody then took to their seats to hear some great insights and presentations from Ali Al-Ismail علي آل اسماعيل, Country Manager & Kumail AlSaihati from Snowflake and Rok Urbas from In516ht. Thank you so much!

After some questions from the crowd the conversations carried on over a multi course dinner where the discussion points were:

• How is AI data going to drive changes to our business strategy over the next 18-24 months?

• What expectations should executives have for teams empowered by a mature data program at scale? Data must be used to be valuable - what are the best practices you are seeing to see actionable data quickly and efficiently?

• What are the requirements for an effective & efficient AI program and what's the best way to maximize AI’s potential?

As dessert was served our three table champions Abdullah Al-Mutrif, MBA, Vishal Soni & Guil Rodrigues done a fantastic job at recapping the key takeaways from each of their tables conversations. Thank you so much!

Some more conversations were had before everyone headed home!

I want to thank everyone who attended and made it a great evening but a special thank you to everyone at Snowflake and AWS who hosted the evening.
