Snowflake Developers & Community Update — Summit 2023 Edition
Welcome to the Snowflake Developers & Community Update, a monthly blog about everything happening in the Snowflake Community! Learn about Snowflake developer programs, user groups, discussion channels, advocacy opportunities, and open-source projects.
Let’s get started!
Summit Edition Editor’s Note: Leith Darawsheh
Hello! I’m Leith Darawsheh from the Snowflake Community team. I have the privilege of publishing our monthly developers and community newsletter this month, and what a month it has been! We just wrapped up Snowflake Summit 2023 in Las Vegas where we made key announcements surrounding Native Apps, Snowpark Containers, and our partnership with Nvidia. Of course, the most exciting event of the year would not be complete without the Data Heroes Hub! Demos, technical talks, interviews, and Data Superheroes. It was an amazing feeling to see the Snowflake Community out with force, helping us celebrate our growing developer and builder community programs. I have never been more excited to be a part of the Snowflake Community, and can’t wait to see what comes next! See you next year in San Francisco!
You know what they say…”pics or didn’t happen”…
