July 25th | Downtown Seattle
GraphCon
Seattle
A Practitioner Gathering
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 fridge mixer at the end of the day, 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 and discover your next favorite read.
🙃 Different, In a Good Way
Vendor Neutrality: This is a space to 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.
🛠 The Live-Code AMA
In this “Reverse Hackathon”, the attendees bring the problems, and our experts (Paco Nathan, Wil Lyon, Christian Miles, and David Hughes) try to solve them live!
Vaibhav Gupta will be our 'Architect-in-Chief,' moderating the chaos and keeping the live-coding on track. It’s a collaborative masterclass in real-time problem solving.

Flow of the Day
We’re skipping the high-level sales pitches to discuss the real-world challenges of graphs in the AI era; think emerging architectural patterns, using context graphs, and automating knowledge graph construction.
-
Schedule TBD
Crossing the Graph Chasm
Industry Trends
Graph Model Trends
-
Catered community meal on-site.
-
Schedule TBD
Context Graphs/Graph as Mem
GraphRAG
Automating Knowledge Graph Construction
-
Bring your toughest schema puzzles or implementation bottlenecks. We’ll vote on problems and our expert panel will help us collaboratively solve problems real-time! …Or at least point you in the right direction.
-
Around 5 PM, we’ll transition into a pure social mixer with cold drinks and light refreshments. Stay as long as the conversation lasts.
