No-Headquarters/BOZEMAN, Mont.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW), the AI Data Cloud company, today announced that it will host Snowflake Expedition 2026, its flagship virtual global event streaming Nov. 3-5, 2026 in the Americas and Nov. 4-6, 2026 across global regions. The event’s Day One Luminary fireside chat will feature a conversation between Snowflake CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy and Microsoft Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella, exploring how enterprises can bridge the gap between AI experimentation and real-world, production-scale outcomes.

The Agentic Enterprise isn't just changing how we work. It's demanding a new standard of trust, anchored by deep context and uncompromising governance. Snowflake delivers the foundation for enterprise AI, serving as the agentic control plane that connects data, models, and agents to drive action at scale.

At the event, Snowflake will unveil new innovations that help customers connect data from any source, ground AI in real business context, and move agentic workflows into production across every function. Building with AI is no longer just for engineers. At Expedition, everyone is a builder.

"In this new era of enterprise AI, real trust comes from the data, not the model. The winners will bring together the full context of their business through a governed data foundation, with AI agents working on top of it, so that every team can reason over their data and act on it in real time," said Denise Persson, Chief Marketing Officer, Snowflake. “For marketers, the opportunity goes far beyond automating routine tasks. It’s about reimagining how we connect with customers and create value. That same opportunity extends across sales, finance, and every business function. Expedition brings business leaders and technical builders together to put AI into the hands of the people who can turn that potential into progress.”

Expedition represents a direct evolution of Snowflake BUILD, its former developer conference. Where BUILD catered primarily to the technical developer community, Expedition broadens who is a builder by recognizing that creating with AI now spans every line of business. From a marketer deploying automated campaign workflows to a finance leader streamlining forecasting, Expedition delivers tailored tracks and hands-on learning across multiple personas, preserving the deep technical rigor of BUILD while extending tailored tracks to business leaders and functional practitioners. Expedition is free to attend and open to customers, partners, and data and AI practitioners globally.
