With a solid foundation in the manufacturing sector, it’s now time to analyze the transition of digital twins to a spatially enabled world – out of the factory to the streets, cities, countries and globe.  Join us for the launch of the WGIC Report on Spatial Digital Twins.

The EGU General Assembly 2022 will bring together geoscientists from all over the world for one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists, especially early career scientists, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience.

The last two General Assemblies, Sharing Geoscience Online in 2020 and vEGU21: Gather Online, were organized as virtual meetings due to the Covid-related restrictions. In 2022, the EGU aims to provide an on-site experience again for those attending in-person, while at the same time introducing new concepts to include virtual attendees as much as possible. The EGU General Assembly 2022 (EGU22) will be a conference with a virtual component where everybody is welcome, in person or online! We plan for the format of the conference to be flexible, giving us the opportunity to more easily adapt to the uncertain global context.

GoGeomatics Canada is proud to announce the 4th edition of Canada’s National Geospatial Conference GeoIgnite.

Winter Geo is the name of the online event, which will broadcast from Ottawa on March 1st and March 2nd with a workshop week from March 3-9, 2022 .

Now a tradition on the Canadian geospatial event calendar, this event will continue to bring together the largest audience of geospatial professionals from coast to coast and invite the world to join us as we share and collaborate in an a safe online setting. GeoIgnite is free for the entire Canadian Geospatial community. Soon you can claim your free ticket.

The conference will feature more than 6,000 presentations, posters, workshops, and field trips by leading scholars, experts, and researchers. Attendees including geographers, GIS specialists, environmental scientists, and other leaders will share and discuss the latest in research and applications in geography, sustainability, and GIScience. With thousands of different papers and presentations scheduled throughout the conference, you’ll find no shortage of activities that reflect your specific interests within the field of geography.

AAG will convert AAG2022 to an entirely virtual event. We based our decision on the best information we have now, given the repeated variant outbreaks, transmission rates, and on-going safety and service disruptions that present insurmountable challenges to running a safe, successful in-person meeting.

ABOUT THE MIDYEAR MEETING
The NSGIC Board of Directors, Conference Steering Group, and staff are excited to welcome many of our members and partners to meet again in person! The 2022 Midyear Meeting & Innovation Summit will be held February 14-17 at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee, WI, and NSGIC will be leveraging technology to provide for virtual participation as well.

The NSGIC Midyear Meeting provides critical and timely networking opportunities with state and federal officials, industry leaders, and other geospatial organizations. It also offers the opportunity to connect, collaborate, and share with colleagues and thought leaders in the geospatial community, as well as to take part in engaging workshops and sessions, such as the Innovation Summit.

The health, safety, and comfort of our meeting attendees are of utmost importance to us as we continue to plan for the hybrid Midyear Meeting. We will be following all guidance in place at the time of the meeting and working closely with venues to ensure full care is given. NSGIC is committed to protecting the health and safety of all attendees. 

We understand that not all conference attendees will be able to join us in person. Those participating virtually can expect a rich experience with interactive plenary presentations, access to live chat with other attendees, and additional networking opportunities.

Whether you attend in-person or virtually, the NSGIC Midyear Meeting is the place to continue brewing up geospatial excellence and collaboration for state, local, tribal, and federal GIS policymakers and coordinators, private sector partners and solution-providers, and other leaders in the geospatial ecosystem.

AI for Good is pleased to launch its new GeoAI Discovery Series on the applications of geospatial AI and the relevance of GeoAI to the Sustainable Development Goals. Topics range from ethics to digital twins to agriculture and climate change. The three curators for this series, Nadine Alameh, Maria Brovelli and Barbara Ryan will kickstart, alongside ITU, the series by discussing its objectives, structure and relevance, and the benefits to the global community by accelerating the outreach and impact of GeoAI. Each of their respective organizations play an important role in the GeoAI ecosystem. An introductory tech talk by Lokendra Chauhan, Founder, and CEO of Qen Labs, Inc. and lead author on the recently released WGIC GeoAI Report will follow the Panel discussion. Q&A with the audience closes the session.

For over 20 years, ESIP meetings have brought together the most innovative thinkers and leaders around Earth science data, thus forming a community dedicated to making Earth science data more discoverable, accessible and useful to researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the public. The theme of this year’s meeting is "Data for All People: From Generation to Use and Understanding."

In this meeting, we will discuss ways to approach and leverage novel geospatial data, analytics and platforms to understand and assess rapid and profound geographic change. We will discuss the geospatial data science, infrastructure and resource challenges, focusing on human displacement, movement and migration due to sudden and dramatic physical and human events.  

Four sessions will focus on: (1) reducing the latency of analysis ready data, (2) data interoperability, (3) data authoritativeness, and (4) analyzing human displacement and movement due to disruptions and shocks.
