Director of Developer Relations at Neo4j, Michael Hunger, shares the impact NODES has on the global graph community and ecosystem.
“NODES brings together thousands of data practitioners for a much-needed discussion on how they can address a wide range of previously intractable problems with graph technology,” says Hunger. “Since its inception in 2019, NODES has been a uniquely global, exclusively virtual experience, allowing speakers and attendees to participate no matter their location or circumstances. Every year, new projects are introduced by the graph community and it is utterly incredible to hear about and see the many new ways in which graph technology is used.”
Neo4j is pleased to continue its community partnership program for the second year in a row as its commitment to community building and diversity. This year, NODES welcomes a dozen community partner organizations worldwide, including Data Umbrella, NumFOCUS, Women in Analytics, and many others.
