From MongoDB to Docker and More: GraphConnect Lightning Talks Are Here


We already know you’re excited to attend GraphConnect San Francisco (did we mention there’s only five days left to register?), and you’ve already checked out the amazing agenda and star-studded speaker lineup.

But while long, in-depth talks are certainly helpful to sharpening your graph database skills, sometimes you just need a short talk to introduce you to a topic or illustrate a quick hack.

That’s why we’re bringing Lightning Talks to GraphConnect San Francisco.

Throughout the day, community members, Neo4j employees and sponsors are sharing rapid-fire presentations in the exhibition hall. Whether you’re in between sessions or taking a break from the main tracks, Lightning Talks give you something to think about without requiring a long time commitment.
