ℹ️ Topic: GraphRAG in Practice, Part 2:Building with Microsoft GraphRAG with Serkan

How can we move from understanding GraphRAG concepts to actually building with them? In this follow-up session, we’ll take a practical look at Microsoft GraphRAG, the open-source framework from Microsoft for creating graph-based retrieval workflows.

🤔 What can you expect?
This session starts with a short recap of basic GraphRAG concepts and then moves into a more practical look at Microsoft GraphRAG. We’ll explore how the framework is structured, how indexing and querying work, and how unstructured data can be transformed into a knowledge graph that supports more contextual and explainable retrieval.
The session is designed for anyone interested in practical GenAI architectures, retrieval patterns, knowledge graphs, and real-world AI engineering. No prior GraphRAG knowledge is required.

🎯 What can you look forward to?

• A short recap of GraphRAG: what it is and why it matters.
• A practical introduction to Microsoft GraphRAG: what it is and what problem it solves.
• Core workflow: how indexing, graph creation, and querying work in practice.
• Advanced concepts: how domains and communities can help structure and reason over connected knowledge.
• Live demo: a hands-on look at the Microsoft GraphRAG SDK.
• Architecture perspective: where GraphRAG can add value compared to classic RAG.
• Questions and discussion: space for exchange, experiences, and concrete examples.

❓ Why join?
GraphRAG becomes especially interesting when information is not only textually similar, but also strongly connected. Microsoft GraphRAG provides a practical way to experiment with this approach and understand how graph-based retrieval can improve context, traceability, and explainability.
This session will help you understand both the basic idea of GraphRAG and how it can be applied in practice with Microsoft’s open-source framework.

The session will be held in English, but I’m also happy to answer questions in German or Turkish depending on the audience.
