The first London NOSQL Exchange was held successfully, with around 100 attendees and excellent talks throughout the day, including presentations by the Neo4j team. The event featured a state-of-the-NOSQL-union talk by Emil Eifrem, where he discussed the past, present, and future of NOSQL databases, including graph traversal. Ian Robinson also gave an engaging talk on managing complex connected data with Neo4j, while Robert Rees shared an experience report on polyglot persistence using Neo4j and CouchDB. The event was well-received by attendees, who were able to meet new faces and reconnect with old friends. The organizers are already planning the next event, which may be held in London or overseas.
