Join knowledge and information professionals in London to explore how taxonomies, ontologies, and knowledge graphs are being used in practice to deliver measurable business value. The conference brings together expert speakers and real-world case studies, with a focus on practical approaches and lessons learned.

It is beyond dispute that corporate advantage is often based on how data is collected, structured, and analysed. As organisations make greater use of automation, analytics, and AI, there is a growing need for data that is consistent, well governed, and fit for purpose.

This year’s conference theme - From Semantics to Solutions: Real-World Impact of AI-Ready Data - looks at how semantic approaches - taxonomies, ontologies, semantic layers, and knowledge graphs - are being applied to make data usable across systems and teams. Speakers will share how they have built and connected these foundations, the challenges they encountered, and how they have translated them into working solutions.

Leading experts from a range of sectors will discuss what has worked, what has not, and how semantic technologies are shaping the way organisations use data today and plan for the future.
