Sessions
Learn to create a map from start to finish using QGIS and open data in this beginner-friendly workshop. No prior knowledge is required. By utilising open source software and data, participants gain hands-on experience in map creation while exploring cost-effective open-source tools.
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping GIS, and QGIS plugins are catching up fast. This talk explores how AI and large language models (LLMs) can enhance geospatial workflows. We’ll cover key concepts, demo real tools, and ask: do they work, can we trust them, and what are the trade-offs?
