Join other graph hackers for a fun day of building applications featuring Neo4j's great integrations with popular technologies (aka Buzzwords).


*Agenda*

    Workshop (Optional): 9am-10am (includes breakfast)

    GraphHack: 10:00am-3:00pm (includes lunch)

         10:00-10:30 - teams form

         10:30-11:00 - presentation / kickoff

          11:00-3:00  - hacking

    Presentations: 3:00pm-4:00pm

    GraphHack cocktail hour: 4:00pm


This year we thought it would be fun to highlight many of the useful Neo4j integrations with other technologies in a “Buzzword BINGO” format. This means that teams will be building applications using Neo4j and other technologies listed on their BINGO cards. (Insert example?) Each team must make a BINGO (four in row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) for a valid hackathon submission.


*Steps*

0. (optional) Intro workshop. Come to the 1 hour intro to Neo4j workshop.

1. Choose your team. Register your team in advance here, or join teams on site

2. Choose your bingo card. Find a BINGO option of neo4j buzzwords. Your submission must make a BINGO using the buzzwords on the card.

3. Present! Present your graph hack.

4. Win! Our esteemed panel of judges will be awarding team prizes.


Not currently a graph hacker, or want to learn more? Come early (9am-10am) for a hands on workshop covering an intro to Neo4j and an overview of many of our popular "buzzwords" - also known as technology integrations that make building applications with Neo4j easier :-)

Optional Workshops: 9am-10am:

  • Intro to Neo4j. New to graph databases and Neo4j? Start here. This workshop will start with an overview of the property graph datamodel, graph thinking, an introduction to querying Neo4j using Cypher and Neo4j Browser and show how to use Neo4j Sandbox to work with existing datasets and load your own data.

  • Intermediate Neo4j. For those who have some basic experience with Neo4j, this workshop will focus on how to use the Neo4j drivers to build an application using Cypher, and cover more advanced data import techniques like loading from web APIs and using the APOC library.

  • Building Fullstack Applications With GRANDstack (GraphQL, React, Apollo, Neo4j Database). Learn how to build modern web applications backed by Neo4j using GraphQL and React.

  • Natural Language Process With Neo4j. Learn how to apply NLP techniques to enrich the graph model and find insights in large text-based datasets.

  • Building Graph Apps To Run On Neo4j Desktop. Part of the Graph Platform, Graph Apps run directly in Neo4j Desktop and leverage components specifically designed for building graph applications.

  • Spatial Neo4j. Learn how to take advantage of spatial functionality in Neo4j. This workshop will cover using spatial features with Cypher and how to use OpenStreetMap data for tasks like routing.

  • Data Visualization With yFiles. Visualize and work with graph data using the yFiles visualization tool from yWorks. Learn how to build interactive graph applications and visually explore your data.

  • GPU Visual Analytics Hands-On with Graphistry. Join Graphistry's CEO on combining GPU visual technology with Neo4j and Notebooks, and hear what is coming with GoAi GPU startups.

**Please arrive early if you plan to attend a workshop as they will begin at 9am.


Plan to spend the day hacking on a cool graph application with new friends.


*Rules*

  • You must join a team.  (it's OK to come alone, meet new friends, etc)

  • You must present at the end of the day for a chance to win

  • Please include a slide or diagram that shows the different “Buzzwords”(integrations) your team used

  • A valid submission should use a combination of technologies listed on their bingo card that make a bingo (4 in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally)

  • You must register your team on the HackDash board https://hackdash.org/dashboards/graphbuzz so we can keep track of your team

  • Please include the buzzwords used on HackDash
