Summer update: Neo4j 3.4, ETL into Neo4j, & advanced visualization with Bloom

Just before the summer REALLY starts, we wanted to get together and update you on some exciting stuff that's happening in the graph database world. We have three presentations lined up :

• The Neo4j Graph Platform: what's new in Neo4j 3.4, and a guide tour of the exciting new features that are currently released and planned for the platform.
• ETL tools & Neo4j: loading data into a graph database continues to be one of the more interesting challenges. It's not "difficult", per se, but you do need to be mindful of what you are doing and how you are doing it. That's where professional ETL tools (like the Kettle project, founded by our own Belgian Matt Casters - now at Neo4j!) can really help. We have asked Bart Maertens of Know.bi, a long time Kettle/PDI expert, to come and explain the ins and outs of this toolset to us, so that we can all benefit.
• How to create advanced graph visualization and discovery tools with Neo4j Bloom: Neo4j has long supported a large number of 3rd party visualisation tools, and is committed to doing that going forward. However, it makes total sense for a "native" visualization and discovery tool to be part of the platform - and we would like to show this tool to our meetup audience in detail.

Hope that's interesting, and looking forward to seeing you there!

Cheers

Rik & the Organizer Team
