Summit 2026 keynote
Sridhar Ramaswamy · Daniela Amodei · Julie Sweet · Jun 1, 2026 · 1h 1m · San Francisco, California
Summary
Ramaswamy's theme was the "agentic enterprise": agents working continuously across a business, coordinated by what he called an agentic control plane. Snowflake Intelligence for knowledge workers and Cortex Code for builders are Snowflake's answer, with the Natoma acquisition bringing governed MCP connectivity to everyday apps. Anthropic's Daniela Amodei and Accenture's Julie Sweet joined on stage.
