February 8-10, 2027: Where the brightest minds in semantic tech come to talk shop!

GenAI has put enterprise data strategy under a spotlight—and exposed the cracks. Organizations are discovering that their AI ambitions outpace their data readiness. Data complexity is mounting, insights are bottlenecked, and transformation efforts are stalling before they gain traction.

The 2027 Symposium is about results, not roadmaps. You’ll hear from practitioners who have put knowledge graphs and semantic models into production about what worked, what didn’t, and what they’d do differently, so you can move your own work forward faster.

Introducing the 6th Annual EDT Symposium

Three days of presentations, vendor lightning rounds, and panels, Monday to Wednesday, February 8–10, 2027. This virtual event brings together data visionaries, business leaders, and innovators who are redefining how their organizations manage information and data.

The 2027 program is taking shape. Here are some of the topics in the works:

  • Knowledge graphs at enterprise scale
  • Federating data across systems and teams
  • Pairing knowledge graphs with data catalogs
  • Turning unstructured content into connected data
  • Grounding AI agents in your organization’s data
  • Case studies from drug discovery, clinical trials, and other industries

If you believe data should be the backbone of your organization’s strategy, join the conversation shaping the next era of enterprise intelligence.

Real-World, Data-Centric Solutions

Most conferences talk only about technical architecture. EDTS gives you the business case and the return behind data-centric work, and shows production-grade semantic models and knowledge graphs working in complex data ecosystems. Examples for solving enterprise contextualization information challenges with data-centric principles will be articulated and quantified.
If you’re tired of vendor hype and seek business substance, you’ve found your community.

Predictable and Repeatable Guidance

EDTS pairs business outcomes with the craft of semantic implementation, so you leave knowing how to improve data quality, reliability, and explainability. No expo hall and no distractions: vendors earn their time by answering the same challenges side by side in the lightning rounds. It’s structured for demonstrating real-world data challenges from those applying and adopting data architecture to drive transformation across the enterprise.
