Government GraphTalk: Canberra (Virtual)

Thursday, March 20
9:30AM - 2:00 PM AEDT
The Boat House, Grevillea Park, Menindee Dr, Barton ACT, 2600

Join us virtually for an exclusive Neo4j GraphTalk event in Canberra!

Discover how graph technology is being adopted by a number of government organisations to solve a wide-ranging set of use cases, from entity resolution, network analysis, and fraud detection to citizen recommendations.

Graph technology can help you find hidden relationships and patterns across billions of data connections deeply, easily, and quickly. Realtime data analysis can only be solved by a native graph database, because a native graph database is an agile and adaptive way to interpret granular data at scale.
