FOSS4G captures the collaborative and innovative spirit reminiscent of early GIS events, while simultaneously providing attendees with a crucial insight into the field's future. It’s a space where innovative ideas are born, complex geospatial challenges are tackled, and meaningful solutions take shape. The keynotes aren't lectures—they inspire engagement—and live demonstrations showcase real data and software in action. This event fosters collaboration, with speakers sharing valuable insights that spark conversations, drive innovation, and promote growth and change.
Explore some of the highlights from this annual event. I strongly encourage your participation, regardless of your GIS/Geospatial tech stack.
