World
- Neo Hands Out More Than a Dozen Graphie Awards at Conference to
Recognize the Most Innovative Graph Database Applications
Neo Technology, creators of Neo4j, the world's leading graph
database, concluded its GraphConnect 2012 conference, drawing more
than 300 graph database thought leaders, researchers and developers
from around the globe. The conference, which took place in San
Francisco last month, provided insight into graph database
applications and explored the use of graph technology across a wide
range of industries, including Finance, Education, Web, ISV, and
Telecom/Data Communications.
Neo has pioneered graph databases since 2000 and since day one
has strived to build the largest ecosystem of users and partners.
GraphConnect 2012 represents the culmination of its work thus far.
The outpouring of support, involvement, and range of case studies
demonstrated at the conference proves that organizations across
every industry are continually challenged to solve connected data
issues. As the established leader in its market, and credited with
thousands of successful implementations, Neo anticipates mass
adoption of its technology as the market for graph databases takes
off.
"GraphConnect allowed us to see first hand that graph database
technology is top of mind for virtually every type of organization
today. The knowledge and experience we gained by connecting one on
one with hundreds of developers tells us that graph database
technology is becoming a hot market, and that widespread adoption
of Neo4j is imminent," said Emil Eifrem, CEO of Neo Technology.
An impressive line-up of speakers from Intuit, ThoughtWorks,
FiftyThree, Squidoo, Adobe, Telenor, and Cisco presented over a
dozen talks, workshops and panel discussions. As part of the
conference, Neo handed out Graphie awards to acknowledge the
outstanding work being done by Neo4j community members and others.
The first award of its kind, the Graphies recognize and celebrate
developers and teams who are transforming the world through their
development of innovative graph databases. 2012 award winners
