Graph+AI : a special edition of Graph Day

Although we have hosted editions in other cities, since 2016, Graph Day has been a part of Data Day Texas. Conveniently located between the two coasts, Austin is the city our attendees tell us they prefer. The event is held in January, so while much of the country is experiencing winter, the Austin weather is quite mild. Because Graph Day is part of a larger all things data event, we have the opportunity to expose the greater data/ai community to graph thinking.
With the recent explosion of Generative AI and Large Language Models comes fresh interest in graphs and knowledge graphs. The intersection of Graph + AI will be a major focus at this edition of Graph Day.

Graph Day is a conference within a conference. Your Data Day Texas ticket gets you into all the graph sessions as well.

Graph Day is unlike any other conference

While Graph Day is a place to see thought provoking sessions, the primary focus of the conference is connections - the things that you can't get online or learn on YouTube. At Graph Day you can expect speaker office hours, author meet and greet sessions, ask me anything sessions, birds of a feather sessions, and a well-facilitated hallway track. No matter where you strike up a conversation, you'll find sofas and chairs nearby. We have a lounge on every floor - with coffee / tea / espresso drinks, and open bar. Many projects have been launched as a result of a meeting at Graph Day, and many attendees have found their next position.

January is the best time to visit Austin -- when it's not 100 degrees. Check the weather forecast weekend in advance. Chances are that you won't even need a coat while in town.
