Sessions
In this workshop we'll be taking a deep dive into QGIS' tools for data analysis, transformation and conversion. We'll be exploring just how powerful the Processing framework within QGIS is, and use it for a range of common spatial tasks.
Another year, another slew of incredible new functionality in QGIS! We'll talk about some of our favourite features, share pro tips, show off some of the latest developments, and point out what's coming in future releases!
As spatial data enthusiasts we frequently treat "data" as our goal, and consider it a success when we deliver data to our clients. In this talk I'll draw on experiences from working within Victoria Police and explore how we can better satisfy our users by going beyond just data.
