The 2025 Semantic Layer Symposium (SLS) is a leading forum where industry thought leaders, data experts, and practitioners come together to explore the transformative potential, and reflect on the successful implementation, of Semantic Layers.

Far beyond individual concepts like knowledge graphs, taxonomies, or semantics, Semantic Layers represent a foundational architecture for bringing context and meaning to data and content, serving as critical enablers of Knowledge Intelligence.

This year’s SLS will maintain its focus on practical applications of Semantic Layers by showcasing real-world use cases, actionable strategies, and proven paths to delivering measurable value. Designed for professionals seeking to move beyond theoretical discussions, the symposium will provide attendees with tangible insights they can apply within their organizations.

The 2025 symposium will also introduce an optional pre-conference workshop day, offering a unique opportunity for participants to gain hands-on experience in key methodologies and tools before the symposium begins. Held in Copenhagen, Denmark, SLS 2025 promises a rich program full of learning, networking, and thought leadership in a vibrant and inspiring setting.
