KGC 2020 is Up and Coming!
The Knowledge Graph Conference (KGC) is the premier venue for discussions on all things related to knowledge graphs and has attracted pioneers and leaders from both industry and academia.
The inaugural conference themed “Knowledge Graphs for AI in the Enterprise” in May 2019 was a big success. It convened 35 speakers and 180 attendees from technology, finance, education, healthcare and government sectors across Europe, Asia and America. Find out more about what people were saying about KGC2019 here, here, and here.
