Featured Speakers
The event features three exciting talks from industry experts in AI tooling, graph databases, and API development.
Dan Starns - MCP RAG: Intelligent Tool Discovery at Scale
Dan will demonstrate MCP RAG, a groundbreaking approach to managing large AI toolsets using graph-based vector search. Learn how Neo4j-powered semantic search dramatically reduces context overhead when working with extensive tool libraries. See live benchmarks showing improved efficiency and performance while maintaining accuracy across 90+ tools. Perfect for developers building scalable AI applications with complex tool ecosystems.
Adam Chan - [Talk to be announced]
