What we’re about
Welcome to the Graph Database Melbourne User Group, a group for anyone interested in exploring the intersection of graphs, artificial intelligence, machine learning, gen-ai big data, and analytics. Our group is powered by Neo4j, a leading graph database technology, and our goal is to democratize graphs by discussing and exploring technologies that empower fraud prevention, personalized recommendation, supply-chain optimization, and other analysis capabilities found in today's most critical enterprise applications.
Want to lead this group or want to start a user group in your city? Fill this form and we will get back to you at the earliest.
Whether you are a developer, data scientist, or just curious about the world of graph databases and graph data science, our group is the perfect place for you. We welcome anyone who is passionate about these topics and wants to connect with others in the community. Our events are a great opportunity to network with other professionals, learn from experts, and explore the potential of graph technology industry. To speak at future meetups, fill this form.

See all- From RAG to GraphRAG: The Future of GenAI with Neo4jNatural Velocity Innovation Centre, Docklands
RAG made Generative AI useful. GraphRAG makes it powerful. By weaving knowledge graphs into the fabric of LLMs, developers can unlock richer context, explainability, and factual accuracy.
At this Melbourne meetup, we’ll explore how Neo4j and GraphRAG are transforming GenAI applications — from intelligent search to real-world enterprise use cases. Expect insights, live demos, and conversations with the local graph + AI community.
Agenda:
* 5:30pm~6:20pm: Checkin and networking
* 6:30pm~8:00pm: Tech talks and Q&A
* 8:00pm: Open discussion & MixerTopics/Speakers:
🎤 Adrian Yap, Data and AI Specialist, Australia Post and Data Architect, Natural Velocity (Startup)
Talk Topic: Demo on Graph Database with LLM (Claude and Gemini) and a Neo4j MCP Server
Talk Description: Theme progressively building out a Neo4J property graph using concepts of Data Mesh and Data Products with an LLM (Claude Desktop) with a user front end and chatbot.
Talk will involve of a live demonstration of the two use-cases, and then the steps on how these two were built using Neo4J Aura & MCP Server, LLM (Claude Desktop), Google Gemini, and Python Streamlit Application.
A) Natural Velocity Demo - Chatbot of a Client Seat Enquiry / Booking System
B) Building out a Geo Spatial Map of Australia with Location Data, and then enhancing it to build a Badminton Venues Website (incl. Chatbot)
Speaker Bio: An experienced data and AI professional and leader with a strong consulting background having worked across many of Australia’s top-tier organisations, industries and leading financial institutions with roles : Head of Data, Head of Data Governance, and Data Platform Manager.
The last two years has been working on a variety of Knowledge Graph and LLM Projects, including spearheading the delivery of Australia and New Zealand’s largest Knowledge Graph Implementation (20 Plus TB) and a startup.
Recent work at a Big 4 Bank with Generative AI (Gemini and Open AI) with Knowledge Graph Technologies resulted in both internal and external world-wide recognition from the EDM Council and recent CDAO forums.Venue:
