A student side-event sponsored by Quarticle — a company building high-performance, cloud-native GIS solutions at the intersection of geospatial science, cloud infrastructure, and insurance analytics. As daily users of the open source geospatial stack, they're bringing that real-world experience directly to students.
Over the session, participants work through the full stack: PostGIS, QGIS, GeoServer, Leaflet, and GDAL, orchestrated with Docker Compose and driven by real OpenStreetMap data.
The goal is simple: help students connect the tools they've heard of to the workflows they'll encounter on the job — and leave with a fully working environment, practical experience, and a clearer sense of where the industry is heading.
