Iceberg Meetup: San Francisco - Building Mobility Knowledge Graphs and Breaking the GIS Data Silo
Whether you're in town for the Data + AI Summit or simply curious about Apache Iceberg, join us for a fun and informative evening filled with networking, drinks, and light bites!
We have an incredible lineup of talks and speakers:
Movement with a Purpose: Building Mobility Knowledge Graphs (MKGs) Straight from the Iceberg
Jaz Ku, Solution Architect at PuppyGraph
This talk introduces Mobilytics, a mobility analytics framework that uses Mobility Knowledge Graphs (MKGs) to model not just where people move, but why—by inferring trip purposes and activity contexts. MKGs also support training large language models by transferring semantic knowledge from richly labeled regions to areas with limited data.
No graph database? No problem. With Wherobots, a geospatial lakehouse built on Apache Iceberg, and PuppyGraph, a zero-ETL graph query engine, you can extract mobility insights directly from your Iceberg tables—no infrastructure reshaping required, and no dedicated graph database necessary.
Breaking the GIS Data Silo with Iceberg and AI
Javier de la Torre, CSO at CARTO
CARTO is breaking down the GIS data silo by integrating spatial data into modern data platforms using Apache Iceberg and AI agents. This enables versioning, governance, and large-scale querying—all without relying on separate GIS infrastructure. This powerful combination allows AI agents to understand spatial semantics, translate natural language into optimized SQL, and deliver geospatial insights across industries—all within the lakehouse.
Native Geospatial in Iceberg: A New Era for Spatial & Non-Spatial Data
Jia Yu, Co-Founder and Chief Architect Wherobots
Apache Iceberg’s native geospatial support empowers both spatial and non-spatial data professionals to seamlessly integrate location-based data into modern data pipelines using tools like Iceberg and Parquet. Discover how these capabilities enhance productivity, streamline analytics, and simplify large-scale geospatial data management across workflows.
