Join Neo4j & G.V() at the Scotland Data Science & Technology Meetup!
It’s not often that a global, remote-first company gets to present and co-host a meetup in their home city, but it’s happening next month for G.V()!
Please join me (Arthur Bigeard) and Jennifer Reif from Neo4j as we present at the Scotland Data Science & Technology Meetup happening in Glasgow this January and organised by the distinguished Michael Young of MBN Solutions.
If you’re in the area, I hope you can attend – not only for the great sessions and the stellar Glasgow tech community but also for an opportunity to chat face to face. I love getting to meet G.V() users, customers, and graph community members.
Here’s a bit more info about what you’ll learn at the meetup.
Talk #1: Agents, Tools, and MCP, Oh My! Next-Level AI Concepts for Developers
Scotland Data Science & Technology Meetup
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026
Time: 6.00 to 9.00 p.m.
Location: BJSS, 180 West George Street, 1st Floor, Glasgow
Presented by Jennifer Reif, Developer Advocate at Neo4j
AI is evolving fast, and so are the ways developers can integrate it into tech systems. A flurry of new approaches and tools surfaces every week, and it’s hard to know where to focus.
In this session, we’ll pull back the curtain on the next wave of AI development with agents, tool integrations, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). We’ll break down what AI agents are, how they interact with tools and APIs, and why context is critical for building smarter, more reliable applications.
Next, we’ll look at MCP and how it standardizes communication between AI models and external systems. Along the way, we’ll touch on related concepts and step through code and demos, giving you a complete roadmap to level up your AI skills. You won’t need a yellow brick road to follow along, but you will discover some magical new tricks to level up your AI skills!

Talk #2: Graph Data Science: How & Why
Presented by Arthur Bigeard (me), CEO & Founder of G.V()
Graph analytics is a major area of data science. In this talk, we’ll discuss the use cases that best apply to graph analytics, how to get started and what tools are available to support you in learning and applying graph data science.
We’ll cover some of the most popular graph data science libraries and algorithms available, and how to run them on a sample dataset. We’ll briefly introduce graph databases in the mix as well as how organizations leverage them to deliver cutting-edge solutions for their industry.
About the Speaker
Arthur Bigeard is the CEO & Founder of G.V(), a Glasgow-based startup building the next generation of tooling for knowledge graphs. His mission is to create universal, plug-and-play graph database solutions to simplify and accelerate the day-to-day of working with graph data.
See You There?
Whether you’re a graph expert or just graph curious, I look forward to seeing you at next month’s Scotland Data Science & Technology Meetup on January 14th. It’ll be a great night of learning, conversing, and connection.
