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.

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.
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.
