What we’re about

Welcome to the UK meetup for Neo4j, the world's leading graph database. We think graph databases are the future of data storage, because it's so expressive to model interesting connected data in a graph and super fast to query too.

We host regular events at our office in Southwark where we cover a variety of topics in talk based and hands on sessions.

Whether you're new to the world of graph databases or if you're an experienced graphista, everyone's welcome to join us for a drink afterwards and we pick up the tab. It's a great opportunity to network (see, graphs are everywhere!), and also to put those burning questions to the Neo4j engineering team over a pint.

Smarter Context, Safer Code: Graphs and AI in Action

Civo Tech Junction, Civo Tech Junction, First Floor, 32-37 Cowper St, EC2A 4AW, London, GB

We're excited to invite you to our next Meetup, co-hosted with the London Java Community!

Join fellow graph enthusiasts, Neo4j developers, and members of the Java community as we explore how graphs, knowledge graphs, and context engineering can unlock smarter applications and better answers. We’ll also uncover how AI-generated code can be weaponized, exposing hidden vulnerabilities in the software we trust.
Whether you’re curious about building with graph-powered AI or safeguarding your projects from new threats, this meetup will give you insights you can put into practice.

Session 2: WhatsThat? Using graphs and AI to make sense of your friends WhatsApp group by Martin O'Hanlon

Communication, messaging, and memory are complicated. How are you supposed to keep up with it all? It's difficult for you to keep up with the constant stream of messages you get. How can we expect an LLM to do the same? Let's look at how we can use graphs and AI to summarise the complex streams of messages you get in that oddly titled WhatsApp group.

We look forward to connecting with the community to exchange ideas on graphs, tech, and AI - join the discussion!
