Event Description:

Background
Cloud-native Geospatial is a new way of working with spatial data that is centered around a set of new standards (COG, STAC, Zarr, COPC) focused on cloud-based access. The grassroots movement shares the mission of OGC – making location information Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) – but leverages the cloud to radically simplify the effort needed to make geospatial data FAIR. Expanding on the success of the first Cloud-Native Geo Outreach Day we are gathering the wider community to share experiences and welcome new users to these exciting new developments. See the call for speakers blog post for additional information.
Why Does Cloud-Native Matter?
Cloud-native geospatial offers many benefits to location data users ranging from decreasing the burden on data providers, to drastically lowering the costs of managing that data. Once the data is in the right cloud-native geospatial formats then it’s easy to tap into a rich ecosystem of platforms and tools without having to download large data files. This also increases the applicability of cloud-scale tools, and magnifies the impact of geospatial insights to a solution. For more details on the vision see the Towards a Cloud-Native OGC post.
About the Event
This two-day free virtual event on April 19th and 20th will bring together various cloud-native geospatial communities to share real-world experience and challenges, and welcome in a next generation of users and contributors who will continue to expand the impact of this new approach. It will have an overview of COG, STAC, Zarr and COPC and their ecosystem of tools, along with a number of lightning talks and tutorials. This event will be the precursor to a series of Cloud-Native Geospatial activities with the outcome of a large-scale OGC Initiative aimed to enable far more geospatial data to be FAIR.

Subsurface Utility Mapping Strategy Forum (SUMSF)
2022-03-22 10:00 - 2022-03-23 16:00 | British Columbia
This is a virtual conference intended to bring together individuals and organizations who wish to share information about and contribute to improving the mapping of underground infrastructure. The priority use cases for better underground mapping is reducing damage to
underground utilities during construction and construction efficiency. Another use case that is rapidly gaining interest among utilities, telecoms, municipalities and even nations is subsurface digital twins. Digital twins of underground infrastructure are living models of real world objects and require a city-scale platform and tools that enable a large number of data providers and users including construction workers in the field, developers
of analytics and simulations, and citizens to collaborate in maintaining and using the models.
The SUMSF conference is open to individuals and organizations who wish to contribute to progress in underground utility mapping. Presentations will focus on innovative strategies involving subsurface digital twins; legislation, regulation, business best practices, new technologies, and training and education for improving mapping of underground utilities.

2022-01-27 12:00 - 13:00 | British Columbia
This month we are pleased to feature Alia Kotb, Community Maps Advocate for ESRI Canada, connecting Canadian communities through a base map evolution.
Alia Kotb is Esri Canada’s Community Maps Advocate. She steers communities to enrich their GIS offering with the Community Map of Canada to better serve their constituents and stakeholders. She prefers using an energized approach to challenges, exploring solutions with a curious disposition rather than simply applying routine processes. Alia has been in the GIS industry for more than 10 years. With an MBA in International Business and a BA in Journalism and Mass Communication, she is a journalist at heart who always likes to ask “why” and “what if” to uncover deeper insights to problems. Outside of work, Alia is an avid traveller and you’ll always find a book in her bag.
The Community Map of Canada is a basemap of Canada built from authoritative data, collected closest to source and updated daily. Seamlessly created to one common specification and compliant with international standards, it provides unrestricted access to community maps and imagery across the country.
Alia will be describing this program and highlighting the value of Open Data in Canada to its successful operation for the benefit of all Canadians.

What is GIS Days? GIS Days offer you the chance to learn more about geography, mapping and real-world applications of GIS that impact our communities. Drop in and out depending on what presentations pique your interest and listen to presenters from around the world.
Who can attend? Everyone from anywhere in the world is welcome to attend GIS Days, whether you’re a high school student, university staff, faculty, graduate, undergraduate or community member. Not technical? That’s okay, presentations will be offered by a variety of speakers ranging from GIS professionals to GIS newbies. Short lightning talks (7-min) offer you a quick taste of a topic, while longer demonstrations (20-min) and tutorials (1-hr) provide a deeper dive into a GIS project or software.
GIS Days 2021 is truly a global event, with presenters joining us (virtually) from South Korea, Scotland, Northwest Territories Canada, and more! Presentation topics range from the Geography of Pokémon Go to underwater gliders, from COVID-19 dashboards to galaxy mapping.
The event is entirely free to attend and will include virtual door prizes, as well as prizes for the Geography-Themed Trivia evening.
