We did it! A huge thank you to everyone who turned NODES 2024 into such a great conference, especially our passionate speakers, supportive community partners, and the dedicated team behind the scenes.

Thousands of you joined us for 24 hours of graph-packed learning and coding, with over 140 unique technical talks spanning topics, time zones, and skill levels. Before we get to the top 10, here are four talks you’ll want to check out.

Our keynote speaker, Ben Lorica, host of the popular podcast The Data Exchange, shared valuable insights from a year of conversations with AI leaders.

The Trends in Generative AI panel took a pragmatic approach, cutting through the hype to focus on the real-world problems GenAI is solving—and where the biggest opportunities lie.

Neo4j Chief Product Officer Sudhir Hasbe unveiled what’s next for the platform, from simplifying how developers get started with graphs to enabling easier scaling for AI workflows. If you have feedback to share, fill out our developer survey by December 31.

And let’s not forget that Neo4j CEO and Co-founder Emil Eifrem stayed up late to answer attendees’ questions across three time zones!
