Today, we’re looking back on a fantastic day at the Snowflake World Tour in Sydney on October 29. The event kicked off with an inspiring opening keynote and included various breakout sessions covering topics like data foundations, AI acceleration and application development. Additionally, there was time to network and explore the exhibition hall, where Partners like us shared how we’re helping transform data-driven organisations.
The day before, Snowflake held its second SPN (Snowflake Partner Network) Connect event for the APJ region. This event focused on empowering Partners to maximise the AI Data Cloud’s capabilities, drive enterprise AI initiatives and highlight customer success stories emphasising strong collaborations.
We were thrilled to hear from great speakers, including Snowflake’s CEO Sridhar Ramaswamy, who received a proper Aussie welcome with a jar of Vegemite! Other featured speakers were Ash Willis, Vice President of Partner & Alliances APJ, Clive Astbury, Director of Sales Engineering, and Yang Yang, APJ Director of Field Specialists, among others. It was a wonderful event that got us all excited for the main event the following day.

Back to the Snowflake World Tour, the event had over 4,000 registrants and more than 2,000 attendees on the day, and we were thrilled to connect with more than 400 participants.
At our booth, we hosted a dice game, which drew quite a crowd. The line to play the game went 20 deep multiple times. We were told by many that we were the most fun booth, with delegates returning again and again, bringing friends and colleagues to share the experience. The game was a hit – participants who rolled matching numbers entered a draw to win a $500 Amazon Gift Card! Congrats to our winners, Mohan Eluri from ANZ Bank and Thiary Ly from Nestlé:
It was rewarding to see attendees enjoy the game, and even those who didn’t win left with a gift from us.
The day was packed with valuable connections and insights, leaving us even more enthusiastic about our partnership with Snowflake. Here’s to an exciting year ahead — until next time!
