2020 | Spatial Data Science Conference

Problem solvers from Data Science, GIS and Analytics communities came together in a virtual event to look at 38 different spatial analysis projects in the private and public sectors, as well as non-profits and academia. We looked at new types of location data, innovative spatial modeling techniques as well as best practice for sharing location-based insights.
