This event is perfect for data analysts, designers, and anyone interested in the intersection of data and design. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to learn from the best in the field.
From tracking forest defoliation due to climate change to monitoring corona infections, maps are becoming increasingly important in identifying the who, where, and why behind many global problems. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) integrate data to reveal previously unknown patterns and relationships between phenomena, enabling decisions for individuals, businesses, and governments alike. We are taking a closer look at this interface and we are learning about the latest projects in the field.
