No - not charts! Graphs are a data structure that are more than just the nodes and edges they contain: from mapping networks to representing arithmetic, writing chat-bots to inferring relationships, applying graphs to a problem can quite often provide an elegant solution. In this talk, Christopher will cover the basics of graphs as well as go over a few simple but fun examples of this versatile concept.

I agree with Matt that this is a bit too concise (how often do you get to say that?). After reading this, I thought to myself - that's seems kind of cool, but I don't know how it would apply to my needs. Providing an "elegant solution" sounds nice, but it's not necessary in the day-to-day. What kind of day-to-day problem does this solve for the developer attending the talk? Does it make things more stable? More secure? More scalable? Easier to maintain? I also agree that you should mention what the "simple but fun example" will be. Having a tangible takeaway is really beneficial. I'll know how to do x with graphs when this talk is done, etc.
As already said I feel there is something missing, too. It currently reads like a great intro, maybe you can take some solutions as interesting attention catching examples. The more I think about it feels very high level about graphs and because of this, I can not imagine what exactly of that big field could be transported in the talk.
It is a bit short - I'd add maybe some more concrete examples but also a bit about who should come and what they would learn. If I saw this on a conference schedule I probably wouldn't attend because it doesn't seem like I'd understand it (except, I always understand your talks but if I didn't already know you!). I think a bit more about what problem it's solving in my real life would probably persuade me both as a CfP reviewer and as a attendee once the talk is selected.

Good, though I'm tempted to say this might actually be overly concise. Maybe mention how what you'll be using for examples (e.g. graphp, MongoDB, your own code, etc)?
