A Practitioner Gathering

Register

High Signal. Low Ego.

Pure Graph

GraphCon is a focused, one-day gathering for the builders, architects, and data scientists pushing the boundaries of graph technology. We’re trading massive conference halls for a high-signal environment where the person sitting next to you is just as likely to have the answer to your scaling bottleneck as the person on stage.

This is a group of peers. Whether you’re looking for help solving a graph implementation issue, learning best practices for GraphRAG, or just debating emerging trends, you’re among friends.

From our community lunch to the networking mixer, the focus is on low-pressure, high-value connections with people who speak your language.

📚 Graph Library Exchange: Have a graphy book gathering dust? Bring your extra graph, network science, or adjacent tech books and swap for something new. It’s a great way to recycle knowledge.

🙃 Different, In a Good Way

Vendor Neutrality: Let’s discuss what works (and what doesn't) across the entire graph ecosystem.

Direct Access: Experts and participants alike are here to learn and tackle hard problems together.

The 75-Cap: We are intentionally limiting attendance to ensure conversations are meaningful and everyone can participate.

🧠 Deep-Dives

GraphRAG & Graphs as Memory: Architectural patterns for the AI era.

Context Graphs & Hypervectors: Moving beyond simple nodes and edges.

Getting into Production: Real talk on crossing the chasm for enterprise implementations.

🛠 Reverse Hackathon

In this AMA, the attendees bring the problems, and our experts try to solve them live and collaboratively.

Vaibhav Gupta will be our 'Architect-in-Chief,' moderating the chaos and keeping the live-solving on track. It’s a collaborative masterclass in real-time problem solving.
