About KGC

KGC 2026 bridges the gap between industry, which is increasingly recognizing the necessity of adding context and meaning to data, and research, where semantic technologies have been developing for many years, and are becoming more relevant with the recent emergence of generative AI. Our events, education, content, and community efforts facilitate meaningful exchange between practitioners and diverse groups and increase awareness, development, and adoption of this powerful technology.
