NODES 2022 Speaker Highlights

Join us virtually on November 16 and 17 for NODES 2022 – the best place to learn everything about graph technology. Whether your interest is in graphs fueled by machine learning, graphs for knowledge search and retrieval, or graphs leveraged for AI-based product recommendation, this 24-hour online conference is for you. There are NODES sessions for beginners and advanced users, so you can design your graph journey no matter your skill level.

Keynote Speaker

We are excited to announce our opening keynote speaker this year: Nicholas A. Christakis, MD, PhD, MPH. He is a social scientist and physician who conducts research in the areas of biosocial science, network science, and behavior genetics. Nicholas authored the book “Connected: The Surprising Power of Our Social Networks and How They Shape Our Lives.”

In his keynote address, he’ll discuss the effects of social networks and how they can be used to create an artificial tipping point, changing population behavior by fostering behavioral cascades.
