| 10:00 AM – 10:05 AM | Breakout Overview & Directions | |
| 10:05 AM – 10:30 AM | Networking & coffee break | |
| 10:30 AM – 11:10 AM | Breakout 1: What Your Leaders Want to Hear About Data | Arms attendees with the framing and language to justify MDM investment internally. Opens outside-in with the CEO/board agenda before connecting to data outcomes. Practical frameworks and peer perspectives on what actually moved the needle. Anchor with external voice — network-connected, low-cost, credible with the audience. |
| 10:30 AM – 11:10 AM | Breakout 1: Intelligent Data Products for Your AI Success | This technical session shows how to turn fragmented, conflicting source data into a single trusted foundation — mastered data, symantic intelligence, explainability, and instructions — with the ownership and quality that later stages depend on. The groundwork that separates AI ambitions from AI results. |
| 10:30 AM – 11:10 AM | Breakout 1: Build a Data Product in Under 20 Minutes with DataOps & AI | No slides. Starting from mastered data, we’ll design, build, and publish a reusable data product live, in under twenty minutes — ready for teams, applications, and agents to consume. The fastest way to see how far the platform closes the gap between raw data and real use. |
| 10:30 AM – 11:10 AM | Breakout 1: Governed Data Products on Snowflake | This session shows how the Semarchy Snowflake Native and Connected Apps bring governed data products directly into Snowflake — no separate deployment, no data leaving the account. We’ll walk through what runs natively, how mastered and governed data becomes a reusable data product your teams, apps, and AI agents can consume in place, and where this fits alongside your existing Snowflake pipelines. Includes a live look at the Native App and a customer example of governance embedded into an existing Snowflake platform rather than bolted on beside it. |
| 11:20 AM – 12:00 PM | Sponsor Session Block: Partner + Customer Showcase | |
| 12:00 PM- 1:30 PM | Lunch & Networking | |
| 1:30 PM- 1:35 PM | Afternoon Welcome & Updates | |
| 1:35 PM– 2:20 PM | Customer Panel: The Evolution from MDM to Intelligent Data Products | Traditional MDM + SDP adopter + AI-focused customer |
| 2:30 PM- 3:10 PM | Breakout 2: Exec Q&A with the CPO & CTO: From Data Strategy to Business Value | An open, unscripted conversation with our Chief Product and Chief Technology Officers on where data management is heading and how leading organizations turn trusted data products into measurable business outcomes — and into fuel for the agentic enterprise. Bring your hardest questions; this is a discussion, not a pitch. |
| 2:30 PM- 3:10 PM | Breakout 2: Data Products in Practice, Consumed by Teams, Agents, and Applications at Scale | Review of 2-3 customer stories from the same vertical, challenge → action → result. Uses accelerator content and PE pain point work already developed. Showcase how those can be consumed by team, app, and agents at scale. |
| 2:30 PM- 3:10 PM | Breakout 2: Moving to SDP: Lessons for Success | Peer-led format: customers who’ve made or are making the xDM to SDP move share honest experiences. Topics: transition sequencing, stakeholder management, handling legacy models, what ‘done’ looks like. Frame as aligning data architecture to business strategy, not a platform upgrade. |
| 3:10 PM– 3:30 PM | Refreshment Break | |
| 3:30 PM– 4:10 PM | Breakout 3: Assess Your Data Maturity | Before you can plan the journey, you need to know where you’re standing. In this guided self-assessment you’ll score your organization across the maturity model, benchmark against peers, and leave with a clear view of your current stage and the specific moves to reach the next one — the map for the rest of your day. |
| 3:30 PM– 4:10 PM | Breakout 3: Design your POV to deliver your first data product | You’ve seen what the platform can do — now let’s prove it on your data. This facilitated clinic helps late-stage teams scope a proof of value for their own environment: success criteria, the data you’d bring, timeline, effort, and stakeholders. You leave with a concrete POV plan, not another demo. |
| 4:15 PM- 5:15 PM | Product expert clinics and open networking |
