Congratulations, your data is up and running in a graph database! This is the first step of many to unlocking the potential in your data. It’s easy to get mired in the complexities of graph technology and forget that real users, mere mortals, will need to use this information to inform mission critical tasks. To get the value out of your graph investment, you’ll need to provide an experience that enables users to explore and visualize your graph data in meaningful ways.

In this talk, we’ll take a hands on approach to applying user-centered strategies and leveraging the latest UI tools to rapidly create great experiences with graph data. Topics will include

• network analysis queries with Cypher and APOC
• tailoring experiences to the intended audience and data
• determining the the right visualization for the job and
• cutting through the clutter on choosing the right visualization tools.
