 ccelerator in San Francisco for an evening with Keith Belanger\, 30-year v
 eteran Senior Data Architect and Snowflake Data Superhero.\nKeith will int
 roduce Spec-Driven Data Engineering and show how teams can use business co
 ncepts\, specifications\, and engineering standards to guide AI-assisted d
 evelopment in Snowflake — instead of relying on one-off prompts and aski
 ng\, “Does this look right?”\nYou’ll explore how to move from:\n\n
 • Prompts → clear specifications\n• Subjective outputs → measurabl
 e outcomes\n• One-off AI assistance → repeatable engineering workflows
 \n\n👨‍🍳 Cooking with CoCo Keith recently published the Snowflake C
 ookbook\, so he’s bringing a little of that flavor to San Francisco with
  his “Cooking with CoCo” theme. During the demo\, Keith will use CoCo\
 , Snowflake’s agentic AI capability\, to show Spec-Driven Data Engineeri
 ng in action. Think less “throw some prompts together and see what happe
 ns” and more “follow the recipe\, define what good looks like\, and bu
 ild toward it.”\n📚 Bonus: Keith will be giving away copies of his Sno
 wflake Cookbook to attendees!\nCome for the Session\, Stay for the People\
 nThis isn’t just a presentation. We’re making plenty of room to meet o
 ther people across AI\, data engineering\, software\, product\, and startu
 ps in the Bay Area.\nCome meet people who might be working through the sam

 or their next role\, or simply up for a good conversation.\nWe’ll have:\
 n\n• Topic-based networking tables\n• Hiring and “who’s looking”
  shout-outs\n• Short community lightning talks\n• Pizza\, drinks\, and
  plenty of time to meet people\n\nIf you’re working on an AI project\, t
 esting a new tool\, or learned something useful recently\, you can also ju
 mp in for a 3-minute lightning talk and share it with the room.\nAgenda\n\
