**Atlan + Snowflake: Governance That Drives AI: From Pilot to Reality.** A virtual event (Zoom webinar) on May 15, now marked Concluded. It covers how Atlan's data and AI governance platform turns Snowflake's data ecosystem into a high-velocity, trusted engine for enterprise AI, with unified governance across Cortex AI, Polaris, and Horizon.

## About the event

85% of AI initiatives don't go beyond the pilot phase because of data governance and quality related issues. In the race to becoming AI-native, governance can't be a speed bump; it needs to be your seat belt to innovate safely, at speed. The webinar prepares attendees for the new AI-native paradigm, ahead of Snowflake Summit.

- Date: May 15 (Concluded)
