Snowflake Startup Program Showcase: Building the Future of Enterprise AI
How do you scale an AI startup from an initial idea to an enterprise-grade solution? Hear from the Snowflake Startup Program team and a cohort of founders who are leveraging Snowflake to transform complex data into intelligent, scalable products
**Snowflake for Startups Program**
**Ryan Lieber**
Ryan Lieber will introduce the Snowflake for Startups Program, which provides several initiatives (e.g.,Startup Package, Startup Program & Cortex REST API) focused on supporting early-stage companies from a financial, technical and co-marketing perspective as they look to build their businesses on top of the Snowflake AI Data Cloud.
Learn how the program supports startups with technical enablement, go-to-market guidance, and direct access to Snowflake’s ecosystem to help scale innovative AI and data-driven products.
**From Program to Agentic AI: Building Enterprise Context**
**Ekai**
How do startups move from the Snowflake Startup Program to delivering high-impact AI solutions for major industries?
In this session, the leadership team at Ekai will share their journey of building enterprise AI products powered by Snowflake. They will explore how they tackle one of the biggest challenges in AI: Enterprise Context.
You’ll learn how Ekai developed an AI Backbone that transforms fragmented enterprise data into intelligent, agentic AI systems, along with the technical and commercial strategy required to scale across industries such as manufacturing and media.
**Unlocking the 80%: Turning Unstructured Data into Governed AI Intelligence**
**EmergeGen**
Enterprise AI doesn’t fail because of the models. It fails because 80% of critical enterprise data - including contracts, PDFs, and emails - remains unstructured, ungoverned, and inaccessible to decision-making systems.
In this session, EmergeGen, a Snowflake Native App, will demonstrate how organisations can unlock this hidden intelligence. Using ontology-based reasoning, EmergeGen converts messy unstructured data into governed, analysis-ready intelligence without data leaving the Snowflake environment.
**Key Highlights**
* Native Integration - Build a governed intelligence layer directly inside the Snowflake Data Cloud
* Beyond the LLM - Use ontologies to make AI systems explainable and trustworthy
* Real-World Impact - Case studies from MSD Partners (Private Credit) and 101 Logistics
**Speakers**
Ryan Lieber - Snowflake Startup Program EMEA & AJP
Tero - Chief Commercial Officer, Ekai
Hussnain - AI Architect, Ekai
Allan Beechinor - EmergeGen
**Event Schedule**
📍 26 March
18:30 - Ryan Lieber, Snowflake - Introduction to the Snowflake Startup Program
18:45 - Ekai - From Program to Agentic AI
19:10 - EmergeGen - Unlocking the 80%: Unstructured Data to Governed AI

**Our speakers:**
**————————**
**Steve Down**
**Steve Down is a Senior Product Manager at Channel 4, specialising in building high performing streaming apps for the biggest screen in the home.**
He’s spent years shaping TV experiences at major UK broadcasters, tackling platform fragmentation, performance constraints and all the quirks that make doing product on TV Apps a whole world of its own.
He regularly writes and speaks about the realities of Connected TV product development, sharing lessons from building and scaling TV apps across diverse platforms and fast changing user behaviours. His industry contributions unpack everything from platform limitations and UX challenges to experimentation gaps and the future of big screen viewing.
**————————**
**About the Talk:**
**————————**
**Behind the Streams: The untold story of TV App Product Management**
Forget what you know about doing Product Management on web and mobile - TV is a whole different ball game. You’re juggling dozens of platforms & stakeholders, designing for a lean-back user experience, and working in an environment where optimal performance is everything. Add in the giants like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube as competitors, and standing out gets tough.
**In this session, Steve will pull back the curtain on:**
\- What makes TV product management so different
\- The skills you need to succeed in streaming
\- How you can break into one of the most exciting areas in product today
If you’ve ever thought about working in streaming or just want to know what happens behind the biggest screen in the house, this talk is for you.
**Raff Di Meo**
Senior Product Design Manager at Optimizely.
Raff has spent over 10 years designing products across startups, agencies, and enterprise SaaS, including a startup acquisition. Today, he's a Senior Product Design Manager at Optimizely, where he leads a team of designers reshaping how marketing teams create content across the web.
He's an active speaker in the UX community and writes Some Designers on Substack, championing inclusivity and supporting designers through a profession that won't sit still.
**————————**
**About the Talk:**
**————————**
**When too easy to use becomes a problem: from e-commerce returns to AI in design**
A few years ago, Raff designed a returns flow for an e-commerce product. It was fast, frictionless, and users loved it. It also helped normalise a behaviour that cost businesses millions and generated thousands of tonnes of waste. By every metric tracked, it was a success. By every metric not tracked, it was a disaster.
Today, the same pattern is playing out. Not just in the products we design, but in how we design them. Teams are reshaping their entire process around AI tools that can't even retain their own users. We're told the old ways are dead. Move faster. Ship more. Trust the tools.
In this talk, Raff will share what the returns project taught him about the gap between a successful design and a responsible one, and how those lessons are shaping how his team is navigating AI right now: what they're using, what's genuinely working, and what they're deliberately protecting.
You'll leave with three things you can take back to your team: why understanding the problem still comes first, how to explore with AI without losing your craft, and a dead-simple habit for catching unintended consequences before they ship.

Tutorial 9 – Object Detection using DETR (Meta AI) with Hugging Face & PyTorch
My name is Aurelie and I'm graduating with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Limerick.
I run monthly **machine learning** and **deep learning** tutorials in Dublin with a small group of people.
\*\*In this tutorial, we will build an end‑to‑end object detection workflow using the **DETR** model from Meta AI, powered by **Hugging Face Transformers** and **PyTorch** based on a Hugging Face tutorial. We will use a small public dataset, walk through data preprocessing, fine‑tuning the model, evaluating performance, and finally running inference on a **new, unseen image** containing a similar object that was not part of the training set. You will receive a Jupyter notebook with clean, reusable code covering every step. No setup required beyond a laptop and a Google account to run everything in Google Colab.
**The tutorials are limited to 15 participants and you can reserve your spot either here or by emailing aureliem219@gmail.com. Please make sure to book as soon as possible, as the registration count on Meetup does not guarantee availability.**
**For more information about the tutorials:**
* The tutorials are interactive and will be conducted using **Jupyter notebooks** on **Google Colaboratory** (a free, cloud-based platform that lets us write and run code directly in the browser). While **Google Colaboratory** is free to use, tasks that require more computational power (such as training deep learning models) may benefit from GPU access. In that case, Google offers a once-off payment for around €10 which can last several months depending on your usage.
Some familiarity with **Python** or other programming languages is helpful but not required. Everyone is welcome to join and learn at their own pace.
* The tutorial lasts for 1.5 hours.
* During the tutorial, I share the Jupyter notebook with participants so they can keep it for future reference. We go through the notebook step by step together and I do my best to answer any questions along the way.
* The notebook includes the complete code from data preparation to model training and evaluation. It can be reused or adapted for your own business needs or personal projects
* We will be working with a variety of **Python** libraries including **Scikit-learn**, **PyTorch**, **TensorFlow**, **Keras**, **Seaborn**, **Pandas** and **Matplotlib** and the **Hugging Face** framework. These tools will help us explore different machine learning and deep learning techniques using publicly available datasets.
* Each tutorial focuses on a different algorithm in depth. Topics covered include **linear regression**, **logistic regression**, **K-means clustering**, **decision trees**, **artificial neural networks (ANNs)**, **convolutional neural networks (CNNs)** for image classification, **object detection** and **natural language processing**. The goal is to break down each technique step by step, making it approachable and practical for real-world applications.
This tutorial take place at the **Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2** (We will be sitting in the lobby in the corner or on the right handside). It will run from **3 pm** to **4.30 pm**.
**Grafton Hotel, 32 Stephen Street Lower, Dublin 2**
* The tutorials are a high-level practical introduction to machine learning and deep learning and the emphasis on understanding how we process the data , train and evaluate a model with Python. We won't cover the mathematics behind it however some tutorials may have mathematical formulas as part of the algorithm explanation and some tutorials might have more complex data preprocessing as it depends on the datasets and the task we are doing. However the tutorials focus on the practical part!
* *Payments need to be made in advance to secure your place and fees are non-refundable unless I need to cancel the event, in this case refunds will be made.*
Mountain Skills 1 Course
***Mountain Skills for Only €120 / course***
Ever wanted to learn the skills you need to become a competent navigator in the Irish mountains, the UK, the Alps or beyond!
As a fully qualified mountain guide and course provider for Mountaineering Ireland and the UK, I run Mountain Skills which is a nationally accredited course and is delivered in an upland environment.
Hiking in Ireland can be challenging not only because of its wilderness, but the island has very little sign posted hiking trails in the mountains or hills. In addition to this, as being an island in the Atlantic we experience the forces of nature; storms and weather events. In other words, Ireland is probably the best place in Europe to learn a new outdoor skill like Mountain Skills.
The aim of this course is to help you learn the skills you need to get out hiking in the hills and mountains independently, safely and responsibly. You will learn how to navigate with confidence by any type of weather conditions.
A Mountain Skills course is run over 2 days in an upland environment and covers:
Map reading, map description, map scale, contour lines, land and ground features, navigation legs, simple navigation techniques, setting the map, the 5 D, estimation of direction & destination, grid reference, mountain hazards, hypothermia, mountain environment, timing, pacing, route planning, route card, emergency procedures, personal equipment, safe movement skills, river crossing and much more…
Some level of fitness is essential in taking part in this course.
Each course (MS1 / MS2) is a 20 hour syllabus which includes indoor and outdoor sessions and night navigation (MS2)
**A course includes:**
Maps and compass provided, tea breaks, course notes, 3 route cards, a free hiking day practice as part of a weekend.
**For Only €100 for under 18 and students and €120 for adults.**
Accommodations can be provided
Feb 21-22 MS1 Comeragh, Co.Waterford
Feb 26/March 01 - MS2 in Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow
March 21-22 MS1 Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow
March 28-29 MS2 Glenmalure, Co.Wicklow
April 09-10 MS1 Glenmalure, Co. Wicklow

Daytona x Give(a)Go HackSprint
🚀 A one day build sprint at the frontier of AI agents & sandboxes
Every time an AI agent writes code, it needs somewhere to run it.
A real computer. Isolated. Fast. Disposable.
Until recently, spinning one up took minutes. Daytona does it in under 90 milliseconds.
That changes what is possible.
**Registeration required on [luma page](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring).**
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
On March 28th, we are bringing together Dublin’s most ambitious builders to explore what happens when you give AI agents fast, isolated compute and let them loose on real problems.
***
# 🧠 What You Will Build
**Design AI agents that demonstrate**
* Sharp reasoning
* Independent decision making
* Safe execution in isolated sandboxed environments
* Real world impact
A sandbox is an isolated compute environment. A full computer spun up on demand where an agent can run code, browse the web, access files, execute workflows and disappear instantly.
This is the infrastructure underneath tools like Claude Code, Codex and Browser Use. It is how serious agent systems run safely in production.
*If it involves agents doing real work in the world, sandboxes are how you make it reliable and fast.*
✨ Every builder receives Daytona credits.
🏆 Top three teams earn thousands of dollars in compute.
***
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
## **Project Ideas:**
* **Self-Evolving Agent**
Spawn hundreds of agent variants in parallel, mutate prompts/tooling/memory, benchmark performance, and keep only the strongest. Darwinian selection for reasoning systems.
* **Parallel coding agents** with full context on your codebase and all dependencies pre-loaded, running experiments simultaneously with different parameters and returning results fast.
* **Research pipelines** that spin up isolated environments per experiment, run them in parallel, and aggregate outputs without any one run contaminating another.
* **Evolutionary Fine-Tuning Lab**
Run hundreds of fine-tuning jobs with varied hyperparameters and datasets in isolated sandboxes.
Automatically rank, kill, and respawn better-performing models.
***
## What the day looks like
🕚 11:00 AM Doors open
⚙️ 11:30 AM Intro to Daytona and sandbox primitives
🚀 12:00 PM Hacking begins
🍕 1:00 PM Lunch
🛠️ 1:30 PM Back to building
🖥️ 4:45 PM Demos and judging
🏆 5:30 PM Awards and close
Bring your laptop, an idea, and something you’ve been wanting to automate.
**Please register here to confirm your post: [www.giveago.co/register/hackspring](https://giveago.co/register/hackspring)**
## About Daytona
**[Daytona](https://daytona.io)**: Daytona builds the compute infrastructure that AI agents actually need: sandboxes that launch in under 90ms, fork into parallel branches, and snapshot mid-execution.
Their customers include LangChain, Browser Use and more. This is the tech underneath Claude Code, Codex and every serious agentic tool running the cloud today.
## Venue Partner
\*\*[Baseline](https://baseline.community/)\*\*: An independent community and fund for early-stage founders in Ireland. They write €100K first checks to technical founders, backed entirely by private investors. Looking for your first check? these are the people to be in a room with.

ServiceNow's Got Talent
Builders, creators, architects, admins, consultants - come one, come all. This one's for you.
We're bringing a little friendly competition to the Columbus ServiceNow community while highlighting the cool things people have built on the platform.
Five presenters will take the stage to showcase something they've built, solved, designed, or imagined on the ServiceNow platform - and a panel of judges (plus YOU, our amazing audience) will score them live.
So basically, America's Got Talent but make it ServiceNow's Got Talent.
Bring a notepad if you'd like 'cause you'll definitely be learning something new.
Each presenter gets 10 minutes max to wow the crowd with:
• A demo
• A real-world business solution
• A bold idea
• A UX transformation
• Or a creative use of the platform
Judging Criteria:
🏆 Business Value
🚀 Innovation
✨ User Experience
This event is about celebrating ideas, sharing knowledge, and showing how ServiceNow can drive both business impact and meaningful user value.
Come learn. Come support. Come get inspired.
Refreshments and bites will be provided.
And maybe next time… you’ll be on stage.
