Over the past three years of the Semantic Data Conference, the community has shown itself to be comprised of strong, independent thinkers who are comfortable operating at the vanguard of this field.

We invite you to engage with keynote speaker Professor Viktor Mayer‑Schönberger directly in an open Q&A and dialogue. This is an opportunity to bring your toughest questions, challenge assumptions, and explore together how semantics, governance, and AI will shape the years ahead.

Your chance to visit the DAM Europe and Semantic Data exhibition and network with fellow attendees.

As AI systems become the primary way people and applications access information, the semantic layer (ontologies, knowledge graphs, and contextual metadata) has moved from nice‑to‑have to critical infrastructure. Yet many organisations still struggle to decide when to invest in graphs, how to manage change, and how to align semantic work with data and AI teams.
