Airbnb, Capgemini, Telia and others set to join Neo Technology leadership on stage at Europe’s biggest graph database event to discuss the future of graph technology

LONDON, April 11, 2017: Neo Technology, creator of Neo4j, the world’s favourite graph database, has just announced the agenda for GraphConnect Europe in London, the European leg of the world’s biggest graph database event series.

Set for May 11, GraphConnect Europe will feature inspirational live case studies from top graph users including Airbnb, Crédit Agricole, telecoms giant and Smart Buildings pioneer Telia AB and global consultancy Capgemini. Deutsche Bahn and KCOM will also discuss how they used graphs to map the hugely complex booking and reservations in their national rail networks.

These Neo4j users will be complemented by a series of main-stage keynote presentations on the evolution of Neo4j, and the future of databases from the Neo Technology leadership team, who will present the case for why graph technology will be a data engine standby for every Fortune 500 company by year end.

Also confirmed is a special data journalism panel featuring journalists, academics and practitioners set to discuss the latest techniques such as graph and AI in pioneering database investigative campaigns such as the Panama Papers, the world’s biggest data-driven journalism scoop and winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting.

New heights for graphs

Set for May 11 at the prestigious QE II Conference Centre in Westminster, the conference is the main 2017 focus for the European graph database world and is expected to attract a high number of attendees from the UK and mainland Europe.

Delegates will learn how to enable their digital business strategy through graph database infrastructure, as well as maximise their investment in Neo4j, the world’s most popular graph platform. A full range of graph applications and use cases will be showcased, says Neo Technology.

Four separate event tracks at the prestigious Westminster venue will cover technical to business issues, with a full roster of 50+ speakers, on-site Neo4j advice clinics, a busy set of training sessions to choose from a day earlier, as well as plenty of opportunities for peer-to-peer networking.

“GraphConnect Europe 2017 attendees are in for a convincing show of innovation and technology that will help propel them to new levels of graph database success,” promised Claudia Remlinger, Neo Technology’s European Marketing Director.
