Getting supply chains tech-ready for global trade

The way consumers shop is shifting to involve more automated agents. For consumer goods companies, this requires a change in strategy to align with evolving purchase preferences.

The barrier to navigating this shift is rarely vision, it is data readiness. Moving from hype to a production-ready environment requires a practical lens on the frameworks that make commerce function efficiently.

Join an exclusive group of retailers, manufacturers, and tech innovators at Snowflake HQ from 4-6 May 2026.

This is a technical deep dive designed to look into how automated shopping assistants are changing the way consumers buy things and how secure data environments can drive value.

SpringBoard highlights

  • Live walkthroughs of Cortex AI at the SVAI Hub where you can see an AI journey from start to finish.

  • Agentic Commerce and the AI Data Cloud to examine how machine-readable data supports technical workflows.

  • The architecture needed for supply chain sensing, in-store AI, and retail media networks.

  • Secure data environments and clean rooms to explore how retailers and brands can share insights without compromising raw data privacy.

Why join the conversation?
