Snowflake Summit 2026 — Cortex Dataset Activity

A base repository containing scripts and example datasets for the Cortex Dataset Activity at Snowflake Summit 2026.

Overview

This activity walks participants through loading and analyzing datasets using Snowflake Cortex, Snowflake's suite of AI and ML features. This repo provides everything needed to set up, run, and reset the environment for the activity.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• A Snowflake account with access to the SNOWFLAKE_LEARNING_DB database
• Appropriate privileges to create and drop tables and semantic views

Setup with Example Dataset

1. Clone this repository or download the example CSV:

   git clone https://github.com/your-org/summit26-cortex-dataset-activity.git

2. Load the example dataset from example_dataset/311data.csv into your Snowflake environment.
3. Follow the activity instructions provided at the event.

Cleanup

To reset the Snowflake environment between uses (e.g., between groups of participants), run the cleanup script:

-- In a Snowflake worksheet, execute:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE FROM @your_stage/cleanup.sql;

Or paste the contents of cleanup.sql directly into a Snowflake worksheet and run it.

The script will:

• Drop all semantic views in SNOWFLAKE_LEARNING_DB
• Drop all tables in SNOWFLAKE_LEARNING_DB
• Print a confirmation message when complete

Note: The cleanup script targets SNOWFLAKE_LEARNING_DB. Make sure this database exists and that you are using the correct role before running it.
