Summit 2026 keynote

Sridhar Ramaswamy · Daniela Amodei · Julie Sweet · Jun 1, 2026 · 1h 1m · San Francisco, California

Summary

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.
