Get Ready for the CNG Virtual Conference 2024
This week on Wednesday, November 13, the CNG Virtual Conference 2024 will gather data user practitioners, enthusiasts, and newcomers to explore the latest in cloud-native geospatial technology. Come hear keynotes from NASA, Carto, the University of Tennessee, and speakers from many other organizations sharing updates and insights on cloud-native geo. This online event is an inclusive space for anyone curious about cloud-native geospatial, whether you’re an industry expert, an innovator, or just starting to explore cloud-native concepts. We invite you to join us to learn, connect, and engage with a field that’s rapidly changing how we work with geospatial data.
Why You Should Attend
Engage with the Future of Geospatial
Cloud-native geospatial represents a transformative approach to handling data. At this conference, you’ll get an inside view into how cloud-native technology makes geospatial data faster, more flexible, and more scalable. And then discover how this shift is driving innovation across the industry.
Support Industry Adoption
Your participation is important as we strive to help more data users adopt a cloud-native geospatial approach. By attending, you’re contributing to a growing movement to make geospatial data more accessible and useful for data users.
Connect with the Community
This conference offers a vendor-neutral space for practitioners across sectors to collaborate and exchange ideas. Whether you’re interested in learning or networking, this is the place to connect with other geospatial professionals.
Help Shape the Future
Beyond learning, this event is about building a community dedicated to advancing geospatial data accessibility and usability. Join us and be part of a community-driven effort to innovate and improve geospatial technology.
Sessions and Topics
We have a range of sessions lined up, covering both foundational and technical topics, organized into three key sections throughout the day:
Section 1: Foundations of Cloud-Native Geospatial
We will begin the day with foundational topics, including a keynote from Javier de la Torre on breaking down GIS data silos with cloud-native technology. There will also be insights into how the U.S. government implements cloud-native geospatial solutions and demos of featured cloud-native datasets hosted on Source Cooperative.
Section 2: Technology Deep Dive and Live Demos
The second session takes a closer look at the technical side of cloud-native formats with live demonstrations. Dr. Qiusheng Wu’s keynote will explore the transformative role of cloud-native technologies in modern GIS curricula, followed by demos from experts showcasing cloud-native geo solutions like VirtualiZarr, PMTiles, GeoParquet, and Icechunk.
Section 3: The Future of Cloud-Native Geospatial
The conference wraps up with a forward-looking session on the power of community in cloud-native geospatial. Dr. Brianna Rita Pagán’s keynote will address the importance of a strong CNG community, and Dana Bauer will lead a discussion on building and sustaining this community over time.
