Snowflake Forum Zurich 2026

Snowflake Forum Zurich 2026 is a free, full-day Snowflake customer forum held on 5 November 2026 at The Circle Convention Center at Zurich Airport, Switzerland. The day opens at 09:00 with registration, breakfast and a partner expo; a business and product keynote paired with a customer transformation story runs 10:15 to 11:20; networking lunch follows; and the block from 12:30 to 17:15 is given over to breakout sessions, technical deep-dives and two-hour hands-on labs before a drinks reception closes at 19:00. Content is organised around five industry themes — financial services and insurance, manufacturing, industrial and energy, retail, luxury and consumer goods, healthcare and life sciences, and public services, telco and media — with a distinctly Swiss framing that puts FINMA and GDPR compliance alongside AI use cases rather than treating governance as an afterthought. Announced keynote speakers are Jeremy Burton, General Manager of Observability at Observe, alongside Snowflake's Michael Wieland, Regional Vice President for Central, and Siniša Mitrovic, District Manager. The forum is curated for the whole data community, from newcomers to the AI Data Cloud through to experienced practitioners.

A Swiss data or platform leader can compress a full Snowflake evaluation into one day at the airport, with no ticket cost and no flight. The keynote sets the AI Data Cloud roadmap, the paired customer session shows a peer's transformation with specifics attached, and the afternoon labs put an architect's hands on the product rather than on a slide deck. The industry breakouts address the constraint that actually stalls Swiss deployments — running AI over regulated data under FINMA and GDPR — instead of assuming a US regulatory context. The expo and the closing reception put Snowflake's regional leadership and local implementation partners in the same room, which is the practical route to a scoped proof of concept.

• ✓Registration, breakfast, networking and partner expo, 09:00-10:15
• ✓Business and product keynote plus a customer transformation story, 10:15-11:20
• ✓Breakout sessions and technical deep-dives, 12:30-17:15
• ✓Two-hour hands-on labs running inside the afternoon breakout block
• ✓Financial Services & Insurance theme: hyper-personalised client experiences, secure data collaboration, and navigating FINMA and GDPR compliance with AI
• ✓Manufacturing, Industrial & Energy theme: operational efficiency, predictive maintenance and smart supply chains
• ✓Retail, Luxury & Consumer Goods theme: predicting consumer demand, protecting brand equity and omnichannel customer journeys
• ✓Healthcare & Life Sciences theme: accelerating drug discovery, secure R&D collaboration and global supply chain resilience
• ✓Public Services, Telco & Media theme: modernising citizen services, scaling next-generation connectivity and personalised digital content
• ✓Closing drinks reception, 17:15-19:00

• ★Free to attend for a full day — unusual for a vendor conference running 09:00 to 19:00 with labs and a reception included
• ★Swiss regulatory framing is built into the agenda: FINMA and GDPR compliance is a named session topic in the financial services theme, not a compliance footnote
• ★Two-hour hands-on labs sit inside the main afternoon block, so an architect leaves having used the product rather than having watched a demo
• ★Five industry themes run in a single day, so a mixed team can split across financial services, manufacturing, retail, life sciences and public sector and reconvene at the reception
• ★Held inside The Circle at Zurich Airport, which makes it a same-day fly-in and fly-out for attendees from across the DACH region
