"We at Katana Graph had the pleasure of being a sponsor at the DSS NYC event in December 2022.

This event has attracted some of the brightest and most engaging audience members as well as industry leaders which resulted in very thoughtful conversations. We look forward to supporting future DSS events!"
"Conferences are dice-rolls and I felt so lucky. That was top notch content. The career path I chose is a bit lonely, because if you run an AI/ML COE, then you are the only person doing that at your company. That makes me appreciate the community you are building at DSS all the more!"
