By combining the fundamentals of graph theory with real-world applications, this session demonstrates why graph databases are an essential tool for modern analytics. Attendees will learn about key features, practical use cases like social networks, fraud detection, and recommendation systems, and see a live demonstration of graph querying and visualization techniques. This presentation is ideal for data professionals, developers, and decision-makers looking to harness the potential of graph-driven insights in their projects.
How to fail successfully
  • LanguageEnglish
  • LevelIntermediate
  • Code AmountLight
Learn how you can embrace unconventional methods and still achieve success—faster, cheaper, and more agile than traditional approaches. The industry often pressures you to follow rigid, prescribed paths that promise success but frequently lead to failure, inefficiency, and wasted resources. What if, instead of resisting, you accepted the possibility of "failure" by industry standards and prioritized delivering results quickly? By rethinking the rules, cutting unnecessary steps, and focusing on practical outcomes, you can innovate and succeed without sacrificing quality or value. Sometimes, breaking the mold is the real path to success.

Frank
Data Architect

The tangible "startup energy", crowd enthusiasm, and passion for engagement with all the participants was a real boost for me. While a lot of the content was in Croatian, everyone I talked to in groups and in person made an effort to communicate in English (and a bit of German!). The food, weather and setting were also wonderful!! I look forward to following your growth and returning again next year!

Ivan
Developer

At Weblica, I learned many new and useful things that I use every day, and besides the lectures - the team and the food are great.

Marko
Developer

Weblica is synonymous with top-notch speakers, the latest trends in IT, loads of fun, and networking with colleagues. That's why you should definitely put Weblica in your calendar and see you in May in Čakovec.

Tomislav
Designer

Weblica is one marvelous experience because it is attended by people like you, people who do the same job and who have succeeded in the career we all share. There's so much to learn not only from the lectures but also from direct communication with the speakers because they aren't just some ethereal people from around the world - they are people from our environment who know their job. I think Weblica is a great opportunity to learn something new and advance in your career.

The team organizing Weblica, who stands behind it, is awesome. The atmosphere is fantastic and you can see that people work with passion. I recommend the conference to everyone, there will be no shortage of good fun, food, or drinks.

Kristina
Developer

Weblica 2024 was a very interesting experience. The sessions I joined were really informative. I confirmed some things I already knew and learned a lot of new ideas. Honestly, the food was way better than I expected. Good variety, and I didn’t go hungry.

Davor
Developer

I have been coming to Weblica since its second edition. In my opinion, this is the best event in this region regarding the programming and design industry. Hope to see you at the gathering with beers and the rest.

Viktor
Developer

I come to Weblica every year. I like networking and socializing with people, the team is great and so are the lectures. I would be glad if there were more topics related to Java programming.

Nikola
Developer

I've attended Weblica since 2019, and the 2024 one was the best so far. The venue was good, and having two parallel tracks made it easy to pick sessions that suited me. Some sessions could have gone a bit deeper into the subject, but overall, it was definitely worth the visit. And, of course, catching up with fellas from the industry made it all the more special and memorable.
