You can tell Graph + AI is hot when the geekiest graph conference in the universe (#KGC) is sold out and there is a meetup across town with @cognee_, @DeepVellum, @nori, and @modal on Agentic AI with graphs that is also packed.

Amazing to be back at #swampUP for the 11th year. And back where it all started in Napa with a sold out event and standing room only. Makes me proud to be a returning speaker on #DevOps and #GraphRAG and @jfrog alumni.

Honored to receive the GraphRAG award for @Neo4j at the 2025 @DevNetwork_ AI TechAwards. It has been an amazing year to evangelize Graphs and AI technology, which improves the accuracy and explainability of GenAI systems. And also was excited to present on the next generation of #GraphAI with Agent Memory and MCP servers during my #AIDevSummit main stage talk this morning.

The #GIDS conference in Bangalore was amazing. I appreciate the hundreds of attendees who came out to my #GraphRAG talk and who joined the AI in the Trenches panel with @markrichardssa, Archie Sharma (@zencoderai), @vanyaseth, and @MichaelCarducci.

Amazing venue for our @Neo4j GraphSummit Amsterdam event with the Amstel river in the background. The expert Graph attendees beat my @OpenAI o3 reasoning agent challenge and Sudhir Hasbe demonstrated how to use #GraphRAG to augment LLMs to fix hallucinations in enterprise apps.

Amazing community of 1400 developers at the @PortoTechHub Conference where I was honored to give the opening keynote. Got some great questions at the end of my talk about commercial use cases for GraphRAG, future convergence of property graphs and RDF, and sustainability of GenAI. Really great questions and I am glad my talk inspired some of these thought provoking topics.

Amazing brain trust in the room at our 2nd #GenAI Graph Gathering with a diverse set of thought leasers from startups like @Haystack_AI, #WhyHowAI, @ContextualAI, and @diffbot to enterprises like @Meta, @Microsoft, and @Google and even foundations like the #AIAlliance. This is great validation of the industry momentum behind #GraphRAG!

@Neo4j #NODES2024 is kicked off with an amazingly inciteful keynote by @bigdata on GenAI and Graph trends (spoiler: The GenAI hype curve is still trending up). And here is a behind the scenes picture of my home video setup I used to stream the Welcome Keynote. I would have more monitors if I didn't need to save room for the lights and camera. 🚨🖥️🎥🖥️🖥️🚨
