2026-06-29 –, Auditorium

This is a special moment in the evolution of QGIS. Version 4.0 was released earlier this spring and shortly version 4 will become the next long-term release. It’s been 7 years since we’ve had a new major version of QGIS!
This talk will focus on what users can expect when they upgrade to QGIS 4.x. There were also quite a few notable features released with the last QGIS 3.x release – QGIS 3.44 Solothurn. This talk will include features from 3.44 as they will be new to anyone migrating from the last LTR (3.40 Bratislava).

Each highlighted feature will not simply be described but will be demonstrated with real data. If you want to learn about the latest features in QGIS, this talk is for you!

Likely topics include GUI enhancements * Symbology * Annotations * Point cloud support * Data Providers * Processing * Model builder * 3D * Vector editing * Print compositions
