Join Atlan at Snowflake Summit
Join us at this year’s Snowflake Summit, where Atlan is a Double Black Diamond Sponsor!.
Visit our booth for live demos, attend customer-led sessions, and join our flagship evening events to see how modern data teams operationalize trust, collaboration, and governance at scale.
Featured Sessions
Dive into the future of the modern data stack. Our sessions are designed to be actionable, not just theoretical.
DAY 1 • OCT 12
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
The Future of Active Metadata: From Static Catalogs to Action
Learn how active metadata is replacing traditional data governance. We'll show live examples of automated lineage triggering real-time alerts.
See the Context Layer in Action
Modern AI and analytics only work when the underlying data is trusted and understood. At Snowflake Summit, discover how Atlan’s Context Layer connects lineage, semantics, quality, and governance into a unified graph. Learn how to solve the 'Context Supply' problem with Agentic Data Stewards so your teams can ship faster, answer questions with confidence, and scale AI safely from pilot to production.

WTF Is the Enterprise Context Layer? Demystified and Demoed
Everyone's talking about context layers. Nobody agrees on what one is — a semantic layer with a better name? A knowledge graph in a trench coat? AI made data teams into janitors: cleaning up hallucinations, debugging agents. But the context agents need most is what data teams already own. The definitions. The lineage. The governance. The institutional knowledge. That's not a cost center. It's your most strategic AI asset. Join Prukalpa Sankar and Varun Banka to learn how the 4 Levels of Context map the gap. Then watch live as a dark Snowflake database becomes AI-ready: automated lineage, AI-bootstrapped definitions, Context Quality Score green, and an accurate Cortex Agent response via MCP.

Context Layer in Practice: How Workday Builds Trustworthy AI Agents | Atlan
Agents without context don't fail gracefully — they answer confidently with the wrong data. Workday manages HR, finance, and payroll for 60 million workers. At that scale, it's a production risk. Their solution: a context model covering what data means, who owns it, and how it's used — so every agent knows what it knows, and when to stop. Join Jon Chen, Director of Enterprise AI Solutions at Workday, and Austin Kronz at Atlan, to learn how Workday structures context across meaning, ownership, and usage for production agents, how they build agents that surface uncertainty rather than paper over it, and how this runs on Snowflake Cortex with Atlan's Context Engineering Studio.

The Enterprise Context Layer: Atlan's Thesis, Workday's Proof in Production
Most enterprise AI projects stall before production — not because Snowflake Intelligence or Cortex Agents aren't powerful, but because agents don't know which "revenue" definition to use, which tables to trust, or what the business actually means. The gap between pilot and production isn't a model problem. It's a context problem. Workday is closing it — and they're here to show you how. Join Prukalpa Sankar of Atlan and Joe DosSantos, CDO at Workday, to learn what the Enterprise Context Layer is and why production AI needs it, how Workday's shared language — built for people — is now being leveraged for AI via Atlan's MCP, and what it takes to go from cool demo to AI trusted at scale. Join Prukalpa Sankar and Varun Banka to learn how the 4 Levels of Context map the gap. Then watch live as a dark Snowflake database becomes AI-ready: automated lineage, AI-bootstrapped definitions, Context Quality Score green, and an accurate Cortex Agent response via MCP.

Context Layer? Semantic Layer? Ontology? Knowledge Graph? A Spicy Debate | Atlan
Context layer. Semantic layer. Ontology. Knowledge graph. Context graph. GraphRAG. If you've been in a data architecture meeting, you've heard all of these. If you've tried to figure out which one you need, you've probably given up. Are these different things? Buzzwords? A semantic layer in a trench coat? Or genuinely different approaches to the same problem — making AI understand your business? Join Atlan and industry experts who actually disagree with each other for the spiciest 20 minutes at Snowflake Summit. No slides. No consensus. Just strong opinions, real arguments, and a chance to finally understand where these terms diverge — and whether any of them matter for your AI strategy.
