2024-11-27 The Brighton data forum on geospatial analytics

Grab a map and join us on an expedition into the unexplored, because this meeting's theme will be geospatial analytics, a rich and exciting topic which we have not covered before.

Our speakers are:

• Sean Burton, Geospatial Data Consultant, Azura Earth.

• "Introduction to Geospatial Data"

• An introduction to geospatial data, the co-ordinate systems, projections, pitfalls, plus some commercial examples of where it is used.

• Robin Burchfield, Geospatial & Data Consultant, Envitia

• "Geospatial Data Quality"

• A brief overview of how geospatial data quality issues can occur, how such things can be validated, cleansed and managed, and why it is essential that these should not be ignored

• Hasan Guler from Needs Map,

• "Empowering Organisations Through Mapping"

• This presentation will cover the Needs Map platform, a non-profit initiative that connects people in need with individuals and organizations who can offer support. It will highlight the platform's functionalities, including its use of geospatial data and community-based verification to facilitate cooperation and solidarity in various areas like education, health, culture, arts, and sports.
