In April 2014, I gave a presentation at my Alma Mater, the University of Winnipeg: Graph Databases – Overview and Applications
It was presented to the faculty and students of the Applied Computer Science Master’s program.
Most had not seen graph databases before. However, I expect that some of them will be using graphs in the near future. 🙂
