The Open Geospatial Consortium Technical Committee Meeting - Banff Alberta
2019-09-09 00:00 - 2019-09-13 23:59
Come and join us for the 112th OGC Technical Committee meeting. This will be an amazing week with a broad range of meetings and topics being discussed. You don’t have to be an OGC member to attend an OGC meeting. Whilst some meetings will be member only, many are open to anyone to attend and new voices are always welcome.
Visit the event website here http://ogcmeet.org/
OGC standards are implemented worldwide to make it easier to rapidly integrate and mobilize location information and technologies to improve decision making. OGC standards also help reduce IT lifecycle costs by drastically reducing custom integration effort. By making it easier to integrate and apply diverse sources of location information, OGC standards help make air travel safe, improve weather predictions, warn of imminent disasters, respond to emergencies, support city planning and operations, and provide citizens and consumers with helpful mobile apps.
OGC, as a standard developing organization, provides a stable baseline for innovation. Innovation and standards appear to be opposing ideas, but, the two ideas work together to prevent the extremes of technological stagnation and disorder. Standards bring order to the disarray of the implementations of new ideas and provides a baseline for innovation to flourish. That innovation, in turn, feeds the creation of new ccand updated standards.
This TC Meeting will be held at a conference facility with an attached hotel space. Attendees are encouraged to use the hotel room block or an additional fee of $60 CAD per day will be added to your registration.
The Banff Conference Centre room block is available until 8 August 2019 at:

2019-08-19 08:00 - 2019-08-23 14:00
Geospatial data and GIS are an essential and integrated aspect in the planning industry. GIS is often housed and managed within the Planning Department. Many planners are also GIS professionals and leaders within both the planning and geospatial sciences and are subject matter experts in the development of current planing application and tools that help our agencies and our communities in extraordinary ways, from community outreach, site planning, emergency managment and hazards, to organizational/operational dashboards, and much more.
The URISA GIS Leadership Academy was designed to build managers and leadership for GIS professionals and users of GIS. Strong leadership is necessary to establish a solid program, operate efficiently and effectively, coordinate participants, adapt to change, and move a program forward.
The Leadership Academy is a week-long training in which participants will learn:

GIS leadership and management techniques
Strategic planning
Successful team development
Organizational capacity building and sustainability strategies (ROI, innovative funding ideas)
Program investment and justification

GANS Professional Development Day - Open Source Data and Software for Geospatial Professionals
2019-07-17 09:30 - 17:00
Open Data is defined as structured data that is machine-readable, freely shared, used and built on without restrictions.
Open and unrestricted access to data for public interest purposes, particularly statistical, scientific, geographical, and environmental information, maximizes its use and value, and the reuse of existing data in commercial applications improves time-to-market for businesses.
In 2009, Open Data started to appear all over the web, with various governments, announcing new initiatives towards opening up public information. In 2011, the Government of Canada launched the Open Data Portal, to support the delivery of Federal Government data in machine-readable formats.

Open source software provides scalable solutions that can help avoid licensing costs, can be customized for particular requirements, and comes with support from a large geospatial developer community.

Most people in the geomatics sector are aware of it or have heard about it, yet many people still do not take advantage of it.
Come for an introduction to freely available geospatial software and data, and how people are using them in their geospatial professions!

Sources of free geospatial data
Free software for geographic data manipulation and analytics
Data collection and compilation
Free software to aid web publishing

PCI Geomatics and Big Data Multi-Temporal Processing
2019-04-08 18:00 - 20:00
Save the date! Monday, April 8, 6p-8p. I am excited to announce that a representative from PCI Geomatics will be visiting Peterborough to present at the April GoGeomatics Meeting. The summary of the presentation is as follows:
Remote Sensing is undergoing a major shift towards ubiquitous data collection and availability, increasingly through open access. While collection frequency bodes well for future monitoring cadence, archival images collected over the past decades remain difficult to work with due to pre-processing that’s required to refine raw data into calibrated, precisely aligned image stacks. Find out what PCI Geomatics is doing to create technology that allows the automatic preparation of Analysis Ready Data that can populate an Open Data Cube. Custom algorithms or off the shelf applications such as Water Observation from Space (WOfS), or Continuous Change Detection and Classification (CCDC) can be deployed to answer key questions such as spatial and temporal flooding extent signatures, or permanent land changes occurring due to vegetation breaks. Additional innovations and updates on PCI Technology will be presented.
We hope that you are able to attend. Please RSVP.

Speaker Series: Ottawa Archaeology & Geospatial Social
2019-03-18 18:00 - 20:00
Join GoGeomatics Ottawa this March for some Roman Archaeology and GIS.
Title: ‘Seeing the Old with the New: The Advancing World of GIS, History, and Archaeology‘
The relationship between history and GIS has existed in various fashions for years, yet it has been in the last two decades where these conjoined fields have expanded exponentially. GIS has allowed old things to be seen in new ways from rediscovering lost settlements with remote sensing, to recreating ancient cities in 3D design programs.
For his talk on this subject, Alan will be discussing some historical projects that he completed and continues to work on since transitioning into geomatics with a focus on 3D reconstructions of ancient cities and geostatistical analysis of pottery artifacts from an archaeological dig outside of Rome. Alan will conclude with leading into where and in what way history and GIS can continue to work together now, and into the future.
