The Knowledge Graph Conference (KGC) is a world-class 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.
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.
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.
