Please make every effort to attend if you decide to RSVP. If you RSVP and can't make it, or if you have any questions or concerns, need directions, etc, please reach out to the hosts via the Meetup app.

The Agenda:
5:30-6:30: Meet and greet, sit around and talk graphs (or anything, really) with fellow enthusiasts! Share things you're currently working, have worked on or want to work on in the graph space. This is going to be pretty loose. If you have something you want to present, let me know!
6:30-7:30: Ben Medcalf of Medcalf Software Solutions will present on how he uses graphs to analyze and predict the NFL.
Specifically, he'll walk you through how to
- Source data from nflreadpy, an open source python package full of NFL statistics,
- Transform the team season data into a season-level graphs in neo4j
- Run PageRank on the graphs.
- Voila! Graph powered power rankings.
