​We're thrilled to bring you another evening of insight, learning, and great conversation. This time we're diving into the world of modern data workflows with a practical, real-world lens via Snowflake. We'll also hear a brief introduction to Data for Good and the civic work they're doing.

Main Presentation: How Snowflake Enables Real-World Data Workflows: A Public Sector and Consulting Perspective
Speaker: Yogesh Kumar

Public sector organizations rely on trusted, reliable, and timely data to support decision-making, yet data often exists across multiple systems, teams, and processes. This session explores how Snowflake can help enable modern data workflows by serving as a scalable foundation for data ingestion, transformation, modelling, and reporting.

Using a public sector-inspired example, the presentation will walk through the journey from business challenge to solution architecture, demonstrating how Snowflake components such as Snowpipe, External Tables, Virtual Warehouses, and ELT workflows work together to support analytics and reporting. Attendees will gain a practical understanding of how Snowflake fits into the modern data stack and how well-designed data workflows can ultimately support better business and policy decisions.

Lightning Talk: Data for Good Civic Signals Introduction A 10-minute overview of Data for Good and what they offer.

About Our Speaker — Yogesh Kumar Yogesh is a data professional working in the public sector, with hands-on experience in data analytics, reporting, data engineering, and decision-support solutions.
