[KGC 2022 CALL FOR WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS]

The Knowledge Graph Conference 2022

Call for Workshops and Tutorials is now open!

We’re looking for inspiring voices, ideas, and expertise from industry leaders and storytellers like yourself.

About

KGC2022 bridges the gap between industry, which is increasingly recognizing the necessity of connected data, and academia, where semantic technologies have been developing for many years. Our events, education, content, and community efforts facilitate meaningful exchange between diverse groups and increase awareness, development, and adoption of this powerful technology.

Connecting the dots is core to what we do, so show us how you’re connecting the dots through knowledge graphs.

For KGC 2022 we will be hosting a hybrid conference experience on May 2-5 2022 using a virtual platform and a physical venue in the heart of New York City. We welcome either virtual presentations or presentations given in person in New York City. The Knowledge Graph Conference welcomes both technical and non technical presentations. 

If you would like to learn more about the tracks we presently have in mind for the program, please see the following link: https://tinyurl.com/2cv4s47h 

Please note that we do not offer any paid opportunities to speakers, and these sessions are not for service and product pitches. If you’re interested in marketing your solutions, email partner@knowledgegraph.tech.

Workshop and Tutorials

WORKSHOPS:

The workshops are tailored for communities working on highly specialized topics. They can range in formats, from formal (centering on presentation of refereed papers) to informal (centering on an extended roundtable discussion among the selected participants).

The workshop proposal should include:

  • The workshop title and abstract
  • A statement of objectives for the workshop
  • A topical outline for the workshop
  • Names and biographies of the organizers, as well as a tentative program committee when relevant
  • If you organized a similar workshop previously, please provide us with information about the earlier sessions (location, outcome and attendance, etc.)
  • No more than 2 pages

Upon acceptance, workshop organizers will expect to publicize the workshop and ensure the quality of its program through peer review of papers by the program committee. The conference will provide a venue for half a day or one day, as well as a page on the conference website to be edited by the workshop organizers. Workshop organizers and participants will also need to register for the conference.

TUTORIALS:

Hands-on tutorials are designed to provide audiences with practical introductions to knowledge graphs related topics by practitioners. All levels are welcome, beginners and advanced alike. The format of tutorials will be a mix of lecturing and hands-on application of the techniques.

NOTE: Tutorials cannot be a sales pitch by a vendor.

The tutorial proposal should include:

  • Title and abstract
  • List of the topics that will be studied during the tutorial
  • Names and biographies of the lecturers
  • Software that will be required to perform the tutorial and the modality of availability (open source software, Limited licensing for the duration of the workshop, etc.)
  • No more than 2 pages

We are particularly interested in areas such as ontologies, standards development, beginners guides, developer tools, open source & community projects.

Upon acceptance, tutorial organizers will commit to develop and teach a tutorial following the topics presented in the proposal. Instructors of tutorial sessions will be expected to take an active role in publicizing and recruiting attendees for their sessions. The conference will provide a venue for half a day or one day, as well as a page about the tutorial on the conference website to be edited by the tutorial organizers. Tutorial materials should be sent to the conference organizers by February 15th, 2022. Tutorial organizers and participants will be expected to register for the conference.
