The Knowledge Graph Conference (KGC) is a curated program that brings experienced practitioners, technology leaders, cutting-edge researchers, academics and vendors together for two days of presentations, discussions and networking on the topic of knowledge graphs, defining the future of semantic technologies and AI.
The conference was founded at the School of Professional Studies, Columbia University, in 2019. Since 2020 it is organized by Knowledge Graphs Conference or The Data Chefs, resp.
Since 2020 the conference is held in conjunction with the Healthcare and Life Sciences Symposium (HCLS), formerly the Workshop on Personal Health Knowledge Graphs (PHKG), the KGC Startup Pitch Competition (aka Knowledge Graph Startup Pitch), and the KGC Lifetime Achievement Award. Since 2024 in conjunction with a KnowHax Hackathon Pitch Day.
In 2020 KGC was supplemented by the Knowledge Connexions Conference (KnowCon).
The Knowledge Connexions Conference (KnowCon) is adressing the transition from data to knowledge by connections and metadata. Graph Databases, Semantic Technology, Knowledge Graphs and Graph AI are solid building blocks that support this process.
The one-day conference with pre-conference workshops and masterclasses is organized by Connected Data London, in partnership with the Knowledge Graphs Conference.
