AGENDA

The virtual summit will highlight highly practical tools which organizations can use to collect, host, analyze, visualize, and publish map data using the power of the cloud.

The Summit will be an opportunity to hear the latest updates about our mapping technologies and learn how others in the community are using these technologies for impact. The summit will offer a mix of presentations and Q&A as well as on-demand training sessions recorded at previous Geo for Good Summits that you can take at your own pace.
