You've invested in Iceberg. But managing catalogs, storage, compaction and security across engines still falls on your team. Snowflake meets you wherever you are and reduces your operational burden at every step, from instant connectivity to zero-ops. We'll show you how it works, all fully open via IRC, with no disruption to what you already have.

Security and governance is a top priority in order to unlock the full value of data in open table formats. Join this session to dive into the latest features and best practices using Snowflake Open Catalog, a managed service for Apache Polaris™ (incubating).

Open source data lakes are growing, but fragmentation limits accessibility. Apache Polaris's catalog federation bridges this gap, enabling seamless data discovery and governance across multiple open formats and platforms. This session explores how federation empowers users to unify metadata, query distributed data sets and maintain interoperability — without vendor lock-in. Learn best practices to maximize Polaris for an open and connected data ecosystem.
