DESCRIPTION:QGIS releases three new versions per year and each spring a new
  long-term release (LTR) is designated. Each version comes with a long lis
 t of new features. This rapid development pace can be difficult to keep up
  with\, and many new features go unnoticed. This presentation will give a 
 visual overview of some of the most important new features released over t
 he last calendar year.\n\nIn March of 2025 a new Long-term release was pub
 lished (3.40)\, and shortly before the QGIS Conference\, the latest stable
  version of QGIS (3.42) will be released. I will start by comparing the ne
 w LTR (3.40) to the previous (3.34). Here I will highlight some of the mos
 t important new features found in the latest LTR. I will then turn my atte
 ntion to the most important new features found in the latest release: 3.42
 .\n\nEach highlighted feature will not simply be described\, but will be d
 emonstrated with real data. The version number for each feature will also 
 be provided. If you want to learn about the current capabilities of QGIS\,
  this talk is for you!\n\nPotential topics include: GUI enhancements * Sym
 bology * Point cloud support * Data Providers * Processing * 3D * Editing

DESCRIPTION:If you like QGIS it's quite likely that you also use and like P
 ostgreSQL. You probably also use PostGIS to store geometries in your datab
 ase.\n\nBut did you also know that the same database (in some cases with s
 ome extensions) can store way more complex structures\, enforce advanced a
 uthorization rules\, perform advanced geospatial analysis including routin
 g\, do full-text search\, be used in AI applications\, store time-series f
 rom your IoT sensors\, give you a quick and effective API\, and much more?
 \n\nThis talk will provide an overview of what PostgreSQL and some popular
  as well as some more obscure extensions can do\, and how you can fit that
  into your open source geospatial stack.

DESCRIPTION:In air pollution management\, work often follow the so-called a
 ir-quality management (AQM) cycle: monitoring\, emission inventorying and 
 atmospheric dispersion modelling. In each part of this cycle\, we use QGIS
  extensively.\n\nEmission inventorying is the location and determination o
 f pollution sources\, such as industries\, powerplants\, residential heati
 ng and traffic. We use QGIS for a large part of this work.\nAtmospheric di
 spersion modelling models how the emission sources affect the concentratio
 n of pollutants in an area. Here we use QGIS to prepare input data\, contr
 ol the model results\, perform analysis and to produce visualizations.\n\n
 \nIn this presention we will give a short introduction to air pollution mo
 delling and how we use QGIS for this work. Examples from different areas o
 f air pollution modelling will be given.

DESCRIPTION:Python can be used to extend the functional scope of QGIS\, but
  it doesn't always have to be a QGIS plugin: It is often worth creating ne
 w tools in QGIS with Python. How does this work?\nFirst\, this introductor
 y talk presents the Python interface of the QGIS toolbox and discusses the
  possibilities and limitations of tool development (for example\, in compa
 rison to the Model Builder and Plugin development).\nThen\, the creation o
 f a new QGIS tool will be demonstrated in a simple code example using a te
 mplate as a basis. It will be shown where Python code needs to be adapted 
 and what needs to be taken into account writing new tools.

DESCRIPTION:Automating QGIS workflows can save a lot of time and effort. Wi
 th some Python programming\, custom tools can be created that are tailored
  to specific questions and data structures. In this workshop\, this capabi
 lity will be demonstrated through examples\, before we collaboratively dev
 elop our own algorithms and implement them in QGIS.\n\nThe processing tool
 box in QGIS already provides a wide range of algorithms. However\, real-wo
 rld requirements often demand data preparation\, the combination of multip
 le tools\, and manual post-processing of results. Developing custom tools 
 not only speeds up these workflows but also offers additional benefits suc
 h as improved reproducibility\, error reduction\, and easy sharing with ot
 hers.\n\nIn this workshop\, participants will gain both theoretical and pr
 actical knowledge necessary to develop their own processing algorithms\, i
 ntegrate them into QGIS\, and share them with others. We will implement ap
 plication examples from classic GIS analysis and address individual challe
 nges.\n\nBasic knowledge of GIS and Python* is required for participation.
  The workshop will also cover the specifics of using Python within QGIS.\n
 \n\\* Functions and classes should not be entirely new concepts.

 ross various fields\, catering to different types of users. By showcasing 
 examples from ship simulations\, nautical risk assessments\, and farming a
 ssessments\, the presentation aims to highlight the unique challenges and 
 solutions encountered during the development process.\n\nThe session will 
 delve into the creation of publicly available plugins such as OMRAT (Open 
 Maritime Risk Assessment Tool) and GeodataFarm3\, as well as in-house proj
 ects tailored to specific needs. Attendees will gain insights into the tec
 hnical and practical aspects of plugin development\, including user requir
 ements\, coding challenges\, and integration with existing QGIS functional
 ities.\n\nThrough real-world case studies\, the presentation will illustra
 te how these plugins have been utilized to address complex problems in the
 ir respective domains. For instance\, OMRAT aims to increase the understan
 ding of the sensitivity of the input parameters in nautical risk assessmen
 ts\, while GeodataFarm3 has aims to help farmers with data management and 
 analysis in farming. Where over 500 farms all around the world have tested
  the plugin.\n\nBy sharing past struggles and successes\, this presentatio
 n aims to provide valuable lessons for both novice and experienced QGIS de
 velopers. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the developm
 ent process and practical tips for creating effective and user-friendly pl
 ugins.

DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the Portuguese national mapping agency updated the st
 andards and technical specifications for topographic mapping to leverage r
 ecent technological advancements and better meet the evolving needs of geo
 graphical information users. This revision also strengthens alignment with
  the INSPIRE Directive\, facilitating the harmonization of national geogra
 phic data.\n\nAs a result\, all newly produced topographic maps must be re
 presented as geographic features in a relational database. Since then\, al
 l topographic mapping submissions for approval have been delivered to the 
 agency as PostGIS backups.\n\nStoring this data in PostGIS unlocks new pos
 sibilities\, including automated validation workflows. Continuous integrat
 ion workflows can now check dozens of validation rules each time new carto
 graphic data is added to the approval database.\n\nIn this presentation\, 
 we will demonstrate an automated workflow that transforms PostGIS-stored t
 opographic data into high-quality web maps. This fully automated process e
 nsures that as soon as new cartographic data is inserted into PostGIS\, th
 e following steps are triggered:\n* Creating a new QGIS project with all l
 ayers organized into 10 thematic groups\n* Assigning one or more styles to
  each feature class\n* Generating printable reports\n* Creating a 2D web i
 nterface for visualization\n* Creating a 3D web interface for enhanced vis
 ualization of 3D features\n* Configuring QGIS Server to serve all layers\n
 * Setting up MapProxy to handle complex rendering tasks\n\nThe final outpu
 t is an interactive web map that effectively visualizes topographic data. 
 Comprehensive documentation will be provided to ensure reproducibility for
  other datasets. Additionally\, a 90-minute workshop is being prepared to 
 complement this presentation.

DESCRIPTION:The QGIS expression engine is a powerful tool that can be used 
 to create very complex expressions. The expression engine cannot however r
 eplace every action available in QGIS\, and sometimes you may want to crea
 te a custom function to achieve your goal\, this can be because you want t
 o use external tools\, run algorithms that are available in PyQGIS but not
  as part of the expression engine or to simply have a function that perfor
 ms a series of actions similar to a model. \nThis is where custom function
 s come in. \nWriting your own custom functions is a way to extend the capa
 bilities of the expression engine\, allowing you to simplify your expressi
 ons and add new functionalities\, and share those new capabilities with ot
 hers. \n\nWe will go over writing custom expression functions with an exam
 ple function as well as talk about how you should document your functions 
 to make their function help look like the built-in functions’ help.

DESCRIPTION:Every year\, the Swedish Police Authority receives 9\,000 serio
 us or urgent cases of missing people\; About 450 are assessed as life-thre
 atening and lead to time-critical search and rescue efforts. Electronic co
 mmunication equipment\, such as smartphones\, are common in society and ha
 ve the potential to play an important part in the search for missing peopl
 e.\n\nIn this presentation we will describe our work on a platform to supp
 ort search for missing people using both traditional map-based data source
 s and radio-based localization methods. We will describe the process\, the
  collaborations along the way that have shaped the project\, and how the p
 latform has been used for localizing missing people in several years of st
 udent projects.\n\nThe platform is based on QGIS/POSTGIS and includes comp
 onents for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth device detection and localization\, mobilit
 y modeling\, drone-based sensing\, search progress monitoring and mobile p
 hone localization. Other data sources that have been used in the platform 
 are elevation data\, vegetation data\, road network data and satellite ima
 ge data.\n\nSome of the functionalities have been developed with input fro
 m the Swedish Police\, Missing People and the Swedish Maritime Agency.

 line project timelines and reduce costs. This session explores how one of 
 the leading Renewable Energy Engineering firms in the U.S. has fully embra
 ced open-source GIS\, leveraging its flexibility to develop custom tools a
 nd enhance efficiency.\n\nBy integrating QGIS as a powerful user interface
  and utilizing its seamless Python integration\, our team has significantl
 y automated workflows\, improved accuracy\, and accelerated project comple
 tion. Everything that can be done in QGIS has been automated—eliminating
  repetitive tasks and enabling greater scalability.\n\nKey open-source too
 ls include:\n•	Whitebox Tools – Advanced geospatial analysis\n•	GDAL
  – Raster and vector data processing\n•	LandXML to Mesh – LandXML to
  Mesh conversion used for Topography data\n\nAdditionally\, we provide an 
 update on EarthCalc\, an open-source QGIS plugin for PV site earthworks es
 timation\, developed by Marco Alvarez-Patino and John Kopchick. The sessio
 n also shares insights and lessons learned from developing custom QGIS plu
 gins.\n\nThis shift isn’t just about adopting new tools—it’s about a
 dopting a new mindset: one where we create the solutions we need\, rather 
 than waiting for them.

 a to producing spatial data \n- Enhancement of the quality and timeliness 
 of data \n- Enhancement of the production through automation and better to
 ols\n\nDuring the first two years of development the focus was on concurre
 nt data management and on the integration of the stereo mapping tools (pro
 prietary). Data management has been implemented as a separate backend serv
 ice for QGIS. After that\, we have implemented quality assurance tools to 
 maintain the logical consistency of the features concerning attributes\, g
 eometries\, and topology. Furthermore\, we have implemented tools for hand
 ling elevations and made several improvements to facilitate better data ma
 intenance.\n\nIn this presentation\, I will discuss the solutions implemen
 ted in the new system\, including quality management tools and topological
  editing features. I will explain how these tools enhance the accuracy and
  reliability of maintaining topographic data using QGIS. Additionally\, I 
 will share the successes and challenges we have encountered during the dev
 elopment process and in the early stages of production use.

DESCRIPTION:QGIS has become a cornerstone of Geographic Information Systems
  (GIS) in Poland\, supported by an active and growing community of users f
 rom various professional backgrounds. Since 2002\, the Polish QGIS communi
 ty has expanded to thousands users\, fostering collaboration\, knowledge s
 haring\, and innovation in spatial data analysis. However\, little systema
 tic research has been conducted to understand the demographics\, usage pat
 terns\, challenges\, and expectations of Polish QGIS users.\n\nThis presen
 tation will unveil the results of an extensive survey conducted among QGIS
  users in Poland.\n The study\, based on responses from several hundred pa
 rticipants\, provides a comprehensive analysis of who uses QGIS\, how they
  integrate it into their workflows\, and what challenges they face. The su
 rvey covers key aspects such as:\n- User Profile: Education level\, GIS-re
 lated professions\, and experience levels.\n- Usage Patterns: Frequency of
  use\, common applications\, and the most valued functionalities.\n- Chall
 enges and Barriers: Technical difficulties\, documentation gaps\, and soft
 ware limitations.\n- Community Engagement: Participation in forums\, socia
 l media groups\, and knowledge-sharing activities.\n- Future Expectations:
  Desired features\, integration with new technologies\, and the direction 
 of QGIS development in Poland.\n\nBy analyzing the collected data\, we aim
  to paint a detailed picture of the Polish QGIS landscape\, providing valu
 able insights for both users and developers. The findings will highlight t
 he strengths of the QGIS community\, pinpoint areas for improvement\, and 
 suggest ways to enhance support and accessibility. Additionally\, the pres
 entation will discuss how these insights can contribute to the global open
 -source GIS movement\, emphasizing the role of community-driven software d
 evelopment.

DESCRIPTION:Standard QGIS forms can sometimes be limiting when dealing with
  structured data entry for project management. To address this\, **Camptoc
 amp** developed a new widget form for the OSP13 plugin for a governmental 
 agency in the South of France.  \nThe plugin provides a more efficient and
  user-friendly alternative to traditional project management\, improving s
 earch capabilities\, structured data input\, and project workflows within 
 QGIS **forms** and **PostgreSQL/PostGIS** database.  \nThis presentation w
 ill showcase how one can enhance data consistency\, search efficiency\, an
 d form validation\, making it easier to **manage geospatial projects** wit
 h drag and drop forms and manage complex forms in the same time.  \nIt int
 roduces features such as advanced filtering\, assisted geometry editing\, 
 relational data handling\, and automated Atlas generation\, helping users 
 navigate complex datasets with ease.  \nBeyond demonstrating the benefits 
 of this solution\, we will also highlight Camptocamp’s expertise in **ge

DESCRIPTION:Desktop GIS can be a bit of a headache for users\; especially n
 ewcomers. You've probably been there - downloading large geospatial datase
 ts to local machines that take forever\, wrestling with complicated softwa
 re installations\, and often being constrained by local compute and networ
 king resources when you push it too hard. It's especially frustrating in w
 orkshops\, where technical hiccups can eat up precious teaching time and e
 veryone's different setup can cause all sorts of problems.\n\nThat's why w
 e're excited about a new approach: running QGIS in the cloud through [Jupy
 terHub](https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub). This talk presents our 
 prototype implementation of running QGIS in a JupyterHub environment\, a c
 ollaboration between researchers from [QGreenland](https://qgreenland.org/
 )\, [2i2c](https://2i2c.org/)\, [Development Seed](https://developmentseed
 .org/)\, and NASA exploring how this integration could potentially reduce 
 technical barriers.\n\nWe'll demonstrate how JupyterHub can serve a QGIS d
 esktop environment through a web browser\, potentially simplifying the ins
 tallation process and reducing local hardware requirements. The allows use
 rs to access and analyze geospatial datasets through a familiar interface\
 , with the key advantage that compute resources reside close to the data\,
  eliminating the need to download large datasets locally. The cloud infras
 tructure can be dynamically scaled to match computational demands\, allowi
 ng users to adjust RAM and CPU resources based on their specific processin
 g needs. Having QGIS and Jupyter notebooks running on the same machine ena
 bles fluid workflows where users can seamlessly switch between visual GIS 
 analysis and programmatic data processing without data transfer overhead.\
 n\nWe'll also discuss our work with [jupyter-remote-qgis-proxy](https://gi
 thub.com/sunu/jupyter-remote-qgis-proxy)\, which builds QGIS-specific feat
 ures on top of [jupyter-remote-desktop-proxy](https://github.com/jupyterhu
 b/jupyter-remote-desktop-proxy). We're exploring capabilities like shareab
 le links that load specific datasets and layers in QGIS\, streamlining dat
 aset access for collaborators.\n\nFinally\, we'll talk about some of the c
 urrent limitations of this approach of running QGIS in the cloud and look 
 at promising projects like [JupyterGIS](https://github.com/geojupyter/jupy
 tergis/) that could help create an even better\, more collaborative web-ba
 sed GIS experience.

DESCRIPTION:In our modern\, interconnected world\, it’s as important as e
 ver to be able to get from A to B as fast and efficient as possible. For k
 nowing how\, we need two central ingredients: road network data and a rout
 e calculation algorithm capable of using it.\n\nBuilding on OpenStreetMap 
 data\, the openrouteservice is one of the largest free and fully open sour
 ce routing engine that currently exists.\n\nIts free instance is accessibl
 e via an HTTP API\, which makes it a perfect fit to be included in researc
 h applications or analysis scripts. Getting the results integrated with da
 ta already available in QGIS has\, however\, been a struggle until the ORS
 Tools QGIS plugin came to be\, allowing for a seamless integration with ex
 isting data and workflows.\n\nIn this talk\, we will provide a brief overv
 iew of the OpenStreetMap data underlying the openrouteservice to get a fee
 ling for any restrictions it might impose. After understanding the main ca
 pabilities of the openrouteservice itself\, we will show how the ORSTools 
 QGIS plugin uses these to provide a host of functionality.\n\nFrom persona

 rms which can help prevent errors. But what about validating a dataset you
  got from a colleague or client? Think of those spreadsheets with many typ
 ing errors\, hidden spaces and text instead of numbers. You can quickly va
 lidate those files over and over again in QGIS\, without the need of any p
 lugin.\n\nThis talk will show you three approaches. From settings constrai
 nts in Attributes Form and getting a strong visual feedback in the Attribu
 te table up to the use of a QGIS Model to create a dataset with all errors
  and a summary with error statistics. Get some tips how to check against r

DESCRIPTION:This workshop explores potential synergy between QGIS and Entry
 Scape\, demonstrating how potential integration can enable organizations t
 o effectively manage\, share\, and govern QGIS data through metadata manag

 ing geospatial data accessible and usable across different departments and
  externally. This workshop addresses challenges by showcasing the potentia
 l complete open-source synergy that could leverage the strengths of both Q
 GIS and EntryScape.\n\nQGIS\, a leading open-source Geographic Information
  System\, provides robust tools for creating\, editing\, and analyzing spa
 tial data. However\, managing and sharing data effectively\, especially in
  compliance with standards\, can be complex. This is where standardized an
 d structured metadata with EntryScape comes in. EntryScape is an open-sour
 ce metadata management software allowing organizations to catalog\, descri
 be\, and govern data with metadata according to various metadata profiles\
 , including INSPIRE (NMDP4 in Sweden)\, GeoDCAT-AP and DCAT-AP adaptations
  such as DCAT-AP-SE and more.\n\nThis workshop will delve into the potenti
 al technical aspects of integrating QGIS and EntryScape. Participants will
  be involved through a presentation about the potential synergy and discus
 sions on how to connect QGIS with EntryScape in the future\, which will en
 able metadata creation and synchronization. The workshop will demonstrate

DESCRIPTION:A project called "Cool Geography Lesson" was launched in Estoni
 an schools to promote geography education in 2016. It was conducted by the
  University of Tartu geography students' association EGEA-Tartu. The initi
 ative ran for seven years (until 2023) and reached over 10\,000 students a
 ll over Estonia. The project featured interactive workshops on seven diffe
 rent geography-related topics. Two of these workshops introduced students 
 to geoinformatics with the help of QGIS. \n\nThis presentation will share 
 insights from the experience of how to teach hands-on geoinformatics to se
 condary school students (ages 14–17) who often have no prior exposure to
  QGIS. Participants in the workshops either developed a basic 3D model of 
 Tallinn's city center or created a choropleth map of Estonia using QGIS so
 ftware. The workshops also included a theoretical component\, showcasing t
 he importance of geoinformatics and its real-world applications. \n\nThe s
 ession will explore the following topics: \n\n- Background of the project 
 and structure of the workshops. \n- What challenges were encountered and w
 hat lessons were learned? \n- Can total beginners learn to use QGIS within
  a short time frame? \n- What was the students’ feedback to the workshop
 s?

DESCRIPTION:The NiN3.0 system (Nature in Norway) is a comprehensive nature 
 classification framework developed by the Natural History Museum at the Un
 iversity of Oslo and the Norwegian Biodiversity Information Centre to syst
 ematically map and describe nature in a standardized manner across Norway.
  This system is important for natural resource management and understandin
 g ecological relationships. To facilitate the use of NiN3.0 in geographic 
 information systems\, we have developed the NiN-QGIS Plugin. This plugin i
 ntegrates NiN3.0 directly into QGIS\, enabling users to customize their QG
 IS projects with selected type systems and major type groups. This integra
 tion streamlines the process of nature mapping and description within Norw
 ay\, enhancing the efficiency of ecological data collection.\nUpon configu
 ration\, the plugin generates a QGIS project file and a GeoPackage file co
 ntaining the chosen type system and major type groups. The mapping units a
 re adjusted based on the selected mapping scale\, ensuring that the projec
 t is tailored to the specific needs of the user.

DESCRIPTION:The presentation will provide insight into the current developm
 ent of a Qfield project at the Leibniz Centre for Tropical Marine Research
  (ZMT). Research at ZMT is transdisciplinary and is conducted in remote tr
 opical areas. A standardized tool for data collection in a key area like g
 roundwater measurement can support improving quality control of sampled da
 ta and ensuring the application of metadata standards at the data acquisit
 ion stage anywhere.\nThe technical setup and key content features of the p
 roject will be explained\, including the use of layers managed in QGIS\, l
 ayer properties\, dependencies\, and settings for data input in the Qfield
  app. The project incorporates predefined parameter sets that adhere to fi
 eld-specific data standards and units.\nThis Qfield workflow minimizes dat
 a loss by prompting required measurements at each site and maintaining ver
 sion control through QfieldCloud. It enhances data accuracy\, quality\, an
 d facilitates seamless data transfer\, allowing researchers to collect\, e
 dit\, and synchronize data directly from the field while ensuring up-to-da
 te datasets across collaborators.\nThe final goal is to offer a ready-to-u
 se Qfield project\, published on GitHub in a zipped QGIS format with neces
 sary layers\, settings\, and documentation\, following multiple testing ph
 ases in various locations. The GitHub publication will provide an easily a
 nd freely downloadable and ready-to-use product for own groundwater measur
 ement documentation. This standardized tool aims to improve data reliabili
 ty and comparability in groundwater and coastal hydrology research\, makin
 g it accessible to the scientific community in these fields.

 l go through several analyses which the plugin enables and which features 
 it provides. This includes both using the processing algorithms for in-dep
 th analyses as well as using it as a tool for personal route planning\, si
 milar to existing solutions such as gMaps or Komoot.\n\nWe will also have 
 a look at the newer\, lesser used API endpoints and show how they can be u
 sed to improve route planning to support more specialized use cases.\n\nWh
 at you will learn in the workshop:\n1. Basic usage of ORSTools as a person
 al route planning tool.\n2. Automatic calculation of routes from pre-exist
 ing data\, using different transport modes and customizable constraints (e
 .g.\, avoiding highways or toll roads).\n3. Reachability analysis using is
 ochrones\, which calculates accessibility areas based on time or distance.
  This supports multiple start points and transport modes for realistic loc
 ation analysis.\n4. Calculation of large-scale time and distance matrices 
 that enable the analysis of travel times and distances between a multitude
  of points.\n5. Automating all the above processes using QGIS Model Builde
 r to streamline workflows and enable reproducible analyses.\n\nFor steps 2
  and 3\, some example data will be provided. You are invited to also bring
  your own.\n\nWhat to do before participating:\n\n- Acquire some basic kno

DESCRIPTION:In the ever-changing realm of enterprise Geographic Information
  Systems (GIS)\, efficiency is always a top priority. While QGIS has estab
 lished itself as a leading open-source platform\, the necessary features f
 or an enterprise-level deployment of a large-scale geometry editor have no
 t been thoroughly explored\, and there isn’t a clear option accepted by 
 the community. With that idea in mind\, we began developing Plugineta\, wh
 ich serves as a gateway to enable enterprise-level layer editing through G
 eoServer within the familiar QGIS environment. This integration empowers u
 sers to access powerful layer editing capabilities\, including effortlessl
 y managing related layers\, such as 1:N relations\, and customizing forms.
 \n\nIn addition\, by adding the Enterprise Edition Layer Capability\, LDAP
  integration with the GeoServer security framework allows you to manage ac
 cess to layers without exposing corporate data source credentials to the e
 nd user. Users authenticate through corporate login\, and custom access po
 licies can be set for layer editing\, ensuring that only authorized users 
 can interact with specific layers based on their roles\, while keeping sen
 sitive credentials secure.\n\nIn this presentation\, we will discuss the m
 issing enterprise architecture features in the current landscape and demon
 strate how Plugineta addresses these gaps by offering advanced layer editi
 ng tools.

DESCRIPTION:Field data collection for various disciplines\, such as forest 
 ecology or environmental technology\, traditionally relies on paper record
 s that need subsequent manual data entry and processing. As part of a 7-ye
 ar interdisciplinary project called FutureScapes\, that merges ecological 
 and environmental sciences with machine learning\, the participating teams
  will be trialling and\, potentially\, swapping to the QGIS based field wo
 rk mobile application\, MerginMaps. Our team is leading the trials and dep
 loyment of the app. We will present our experience with the obstacles and 
 difficulties of unifying data collection and management between different 
 disciplines that have various approaches to handling data. We will also pr
 ovide an overview of the benefits that a QGIS based field work app can hav
 e in an academic setting with short term projects and\, often\, changing f
 ield staff. The overview will include insights from the data management pe
 rspective\, such as how setting up clear and concise data collection forms
  improves clarity within teams themselves. In a country where summers are 
 short like in Estonia\, there is a limited time window for most field work
 . Advancements in field data collection\, especially for increased efficie
 ncy\, could lessen the burden of tightly packed field campaigns. Furthermo
 re\, we will discuss whether and how MerginMaps can benefit not only field
 -based recordings of data but also sampling in the field and the following
  sample processing in the lab.

DESCRIPTION:The airport is a very demanding environment to build\, maintain
  and operate. Busy airports are operated 24/7 every day. Safety and securi
 ty of the passengers\, crew and aircrafts are crucial for airport operator
 s. Almost all activities in airports are also regulated by international a
 nd national officials. Nowadays the importance of geospatial data is growi
 ng for airport operators to efficiently manage airports inside and outside
 . In this presentation\, we will show how QGIS is used today to manage geo
 spatial airport data and what are near-future challenges.\n\nThe first imp
 ression of smooth air travelling will start with when a passenger arrives 
 at the airport: how to arrive with public transport or where I can park my
  car? Before entering the aircraft\, passengers like to easily check-in\, 
 pass security checks and then use various services\, like restaurants\, sh
 opping\, restrooms and other services. Airport outdoor and indoor maps are
  key tools for passengers to travel from outside the airport to the gate o
 f the aircraft. We will show how to maintain a PostGIS database with QGIS\
 , how to share necessary information with Geoserver and how maps are deliv
 ered to passengers to different devices.\n\nAirport operators are mandated
  to collect\, maintain and deliver aeronautical data of the airport. Aeron
 autical data is a key part of the creation of aeronautical information pro
 ducts which include both digital data sets and a standardised presentation
  in paper and electronic media. We will show how airport operator will col
 lect and maintain aeronautical data in PostGIS database with QGIS.\n\nAirp
 orts are constantly developing and airport data management is under consta
 nt development. New regulations are coming and airport operators need to m
 anage their operations cost effectively. We will discuss possible future d
 evelopment projects: field mapping\, enviromental analysis and facility ma
 nagement.

DESCRIPTION:Publishing geographic information on the web is a common requir
 ement\, and numerous platforms are available to support this need. Whether
  using commercial or self-hosted solutions\, understanding the underlying 
 workflows is essential for those looking to develop web map-based applicat
 ions.\n\nThis workshop will focus on using QGIS and QGIS Server to create 
 and publish web map applications. We will leverage QGIS\, QGIS Server\, an
 d PostgreSQL to build a seamless and automated workflow.\n\nOn the server 
 side\, projects will be stored in a PostgreSQL database\, where a database
  trigger will extract all necessary project information using PyQGIS. This
  process will automatically generate a fully functional web map applicatio
 n. QGIS Server will serve project layers\, ensuring that any updates or cu
 stomizations made in QGIS are reflected in the web app in real-time.\n\nTo
  maintain a consistent user experience between QGIS and the web\, we will 
 systematically review project components\, including layers\, column prope
 rties\, and relationships. This ensures that users see the same content in
  their browser as they do in QGIS. Additionally\, we will explore how QGIS
  layouts can be used for printing\, including the ability to add custom co
 ntent. The Atlas layout feature will also be demonstrated for generating p
 rint-ready maps of selected items or search results.\n\nTo simplify setup\
 , the workshop will use a pre-configured Docker environment with all requi
 red software\, making it accessible for beginners.\n\nPrerequisites\n\nTo 
 fully benefit from this workshop\, participants should:\n* Be familiar wit
 h QGIS\n* Have basic Python knowledge (we will use PyQGIS\, both in the QG
 IS console and externally)\n* Be comfortable using Docker\n* Be able to na

DESCRIPTION:Earth Observation (EO) has seen significant growth\, yet runnin
 g EO models presents challenges due to the complexities of geospatial data
 . We have developed “EasyEarth”\, a QGIS-based plugin addressing these
  issues by enabling users to run EO\, computer vision\, or vision-language
  directly within QGIS's familiar interface\, streamlining model deployment
  and integration.\n\nIn particular\, EasyEarth aims to overcome the major 
 EO challenge of inefficient annotation processes. Tools such as  GeoSAM ha
 ve provided initial resources to facilitate the generation of training lab
 els based on the Segment Anything Model (SAM). However\, this tool support
 s only one pre-trained model and involves a two-step process: creating ima
 ge embeddings and generating training labels using inferences with prompts
 . Additionally\, installation requires modifying base Python libraries on 
 QGIS\, which can be insecure with potential disruption of the software env
 ironment.\n\nTo advance beyond existing annotation plugins on QGIS\, EasyE
 arth incorporates multiple pre-trained models from popular AI communities 
 such as HuggingFace\, and streamlines and automates the generation and loa
 ding of embeddings\, among other advantages. To address the potential conf
 licts between the model environment and QGIS\, we wrap the model running e
 nvironment within a Docker container and use Flask to facilitate communica
 tion between the QGIS interface and the model running environment. This se
 paration ensures that changes in the model environment do not interfere wi
 th the main QGIS application\, enhancing both security and stability.\n\nW
 e expect this plugin to increase the ease of using different EO models on 
 custom data\, and the efficiency and accuracy of the labeling process. The
  streamlined and simplified processes are expected to encourage more users
 \, including those with limited computer science and remote sensing backgr
 ounds\, to adopt this tool in their work\, facilitating broader engagement
  and application in various fields.

DESCRIPTION:NIBIO produces Green Structure Maps (GSM) for Norway that cover
  built-up areas\, including cabin areas. GSM is a hybrid product based on 
 information from remote sensing data and detailed national vector datasets
  such as roads\, water\, buildings\, and land use. GSM contains 8 classes:
  Ground\, Shrub\, Tree\, Grey\, Road\, Water\, Building\, and Agriculture.
 \nQGIS is excellently suited for visual control of GSM. Based on the size 
 of the dataset (number of polygons)\, a significant random sample of each 
 class is selected to check whether it is correctly classified.\nYou can or
 ganize the map layers into different themes\, set up QGIS with multiple ma
 p windows showing different themes and zoom levels\, and use existing plug
 ins to jump from polygon to polygon and compare with aerial images and cod
 e whether the classification is correct or not - quickly and efficiently. 
 More comprehensive statistics can then be calculated\, and the results can
  be compared against the requirements to determine if the GSM meets the st
 andards.

DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the current QGIS atlas feature\, which enables the 
 batch generation of PDF exports from a vector layer\, this plugin offers b
 atch generation of QGIS projects.\n\nStarting from a "master" project\, yo
 u can set up various variables that will have to be updated "dynamically" 
 for the generation of these projects:\n\n* layer properties : \n  * title 
 in legend\n  * data source used\n  * title and summary for QGIS server for
  web publication\n* project properties : \n  * title\n  * summary\n  * ...
 \n\nLike in the atlas\, a coverage layer with margin options can be set. I
 t's therefore possible to generate projects for different geographic areas
 \, or years or even themes. The plugin uses QGIS expressions\, allowing yo
 u to take advantage of the many possibilities offered by expressions and c
 ontext.\n\nThe final goal of this project is to publish a QGIS project for
  land farms on the WEB using Lizmap\, an opensource project to expose a QG
 IS project on the internet. In this use case\, in a given province in Fran
 ce\, a single QGIS project represents a single land farm owner\, and all t
 he data related to this owner : kind of land-use\, pest traps\, ... and st
 atistics concerning this farm.

DESCRIPTION:QField is the field data collection app for QGIS\, with over 32
 5K active users and 1Mio downloads. QFieldCloud\, released in early 2023\,
  is the sync platform for QField and QGIS.\nWe'll show you how to make the
  most of these state-of-the-art tools.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will go th
 rough the complete fieldwork process: setting up your QGIS project\, publi
 shing the project via QFieldCloud\, collecting data via the QField mobile 
 app and synchronising the field data back to your main dataset in the offi
 ce.\nQField works on top of QGIS and allows users to set up maps and forms
  in QGIS on their workstation and deploy them in the field. QField uses QG
 IS's data providers - OGR\, GDAL\, PostGIS and others - and supports most 
 common file formats.\nQField combines a minimal design with sophisticated 
 technology that allows intuitive viewing and editing of data. QField's map
  rendering is supported by the QGIS rendering engine\, so the results are 
 identical and the full range of styling options available on the desktop i
 s available. Editing forms in QField respect the QGIS configuration and ar
 e optimised for touch interaction.\nQFieldCloud will also make field colla
 boration much easier. We will learn about configuring users with different
  rights\, collecting offline and online data\, and synchronising field dat
 a and QGIS project data.

DESCRIPTION:Modeling the spatial and temporal dynamics of natural and human
 -made processes often requires the development of complex models within Ge
 ographic Information Systems (GIS). As a result\, this task has been limit
 ed to highly skilled GIS professionals. Our goal is to lower the entry bar
 rier by developing an AI-powered modeling assistant called IntelliGeo\, wh
 ich facilitates the construction of geoprocessing workflows in the QGIS's 
 Model Designer.\nIntelliGeo is an open-source QGIS plugin that leverages t
 he power of Large Language Models (LLMs) to make geospatial analysis more 
 intuitive and efficient. It supports an iterative model-building process i
 n which users define their requirements\, refine them based on IntelliGeo
 ’s outputs\, and incorporate new insights gained through interactions wi
 th the plugin and testing the generated models.\nTo generate a model\, Int
 elliGeo considers various factors\, including user-defined requirements\, 
 available geoprocessing tools in QGIS\, data loaded in the table of conten
 ts\, and previously generated models. Currently\, the model generation pro
 cess is powered by general-purpose LLMs\, which we instruct to produce geo
 processing models. However\, user interactions with the LLMs will be used 
 later to fine-tune an open-source LLM specifically for solving GIS-related
  problems.\nAt the QGIS User Conference 2024\, we presented the initial st
 eps of the plugin's development and received valuable feedback that helped
  steer our progress. Since then\, we have made significant advancements\, 
 and in this workshop\, we will showcase the evolution of IntelliGeo and de
 monstrate its current capabilities.\nWorkshop Agenda:   \n- Introduction t
 o LLM Integration into GIS (10 minutes)\n- Installation and connecting to 
 LLM API Services (10 minutes)\n- Step-by-Step Tutorial Using IntelliGeo (6
 0 minutes)  \n- Wrap up and Q&A (10 minutes)

 to serve QGIS print layouts. In other words\, you can publish your maps al
 ong with all their layout elements as defined in the print layout.\n\nThis
  talk covers how the aforementioned capabilities of QGIS Server can be app
 lied in practice. The focus is on publishing not only a standard WMS but a
 lso a map atlas: a set of print-ready maps made utilizing QGIS's print lay
 out capabilities. The talk also touches on other relevant topics such as s

 three had an established test suite\, highlighting a gap in quality assura
 nce across the ecosystem.\n\nIn this session\, we will walk through best p
 ractices for modern QGIS plugin development\, drawing from our work on the
  QGIS Earth Engine Plugin. We will cover:\n	•	The current state of QGIS 
 plugin development – insights from our landscape analysis\n	•	Building
  a test suite – why it’s essential and how to get started\n	•	Contin
 uous integration (CI) – setting up automated testing and validation\n	
 •	Proper packaging & distribution – ensuring your plugin is easy to in
 stall and update\n	•	Static typing & maintainability – making your plu
 gin more robust and readable\n	•	And more!\n\nBy the end of this session
 \, attendees will have a practical roadmap for improving code quality\, te
 sting\, and deployment in their own QGIS plugins. Whether you’re buildin
 g a new plugin or maintaining an existing one\, these best practices will 
 help ensure your plugin is scalable\, maintainable\, and future-proof.

  displaying point clouds in 2D.\n* Viewing point clouds in 3D.\n* Creating
  Virtual Point Clouds (VPCs).\n* Using Point Cloud Processing Tools.\n* Ed
 iting Point Clouds.\n* Using PDAL Wrench\n\nSoftware:\nTo get the most out
  of this workshop you are encouraged to install the nightly release of QGI
 S (v 3.43.0). Do this in the week prior to the conference. There are sever
 al important enhancements to working with point clouds which will be inclu
 ded in the next stable release of QGIS (v. 3.44)\, later in June. If you c
 an run the nightly release\, you will have access to these important featu
 res. Minimally\, you will need the latest stable release - QGIS 3.42 Müns
 ter. \n\n* If using Windows\, you can download it from the official QGIS w
 ebsite (https://qgis.org/download/) or by using the OSGeo4W installer. \n\
 n* For MacOS users\, try to download and install the DMG file from this pu
 ll request (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/60039). \n\n* For Debian bas
 ed users\, you can use QGIS Flatpack or change the repo. \n\nNote 1: If yo
 u will be using a corporate laptop where permissions can be problematic\, 
 consider getting these installations completed with IT before you travel t
 o the conference.\n\nNote 2:  It is recommended that you also bring a tabl
 et. There is an accompanying step-by-step tutorial. Having a tablet will a
 llow you to read the tutorial on your tablet while working on your laptop.
 \n\nData\nWe will provide the data for the workshop.

DESCRIPTION:This workshop provides participants with a practical\, hands-on
  experience in using Mergin Maps for collaborative field data collection. 
 Participants will learn the complete workflow\, starting with form design 
 in QGIS\, creating offline maps and proceeding with team-based data collec
 tion. Participants will be then able to visualise the data in QGIS.\nThe w
 orkshop commences with instruction on setting up custom data collection fo
 rms within QGIS\, tailored to specific project needs. Participants will th
 en learn how to generate background maps suitable for offline use in the f
 ield\, ensuring data collection could proceed even in areas with limited o
 r no internet connectivity. A key focus will be on enabling collaborative 
 teamwork. Participants will practice deploying these forms and maps to mob
 ile devices and working together as a team to efficiently collect field da
 ta. Finally\, the workshop will cover synchronisation of the collected dat
 a back into QGIS\, demonstrating how to view\, manage\, and analyze the re
 sults within the familiar QGIS environment.

DESCRIPTION:Cloud Native is one of the largest paradigm changes in how we r
 un and manage server side software. But how does it affect a typical geosp
 atial software stack? Are the usual choices of map servers relevant in the
  Cloud Native age\, and how can they be deployed in a way that takes advan
 tage of the benefits Cloud Native brings.\n\nThis workshop will provide an
  introduction to topics such as Containers\, Docker\, Kubernetes and Infra
 structure as Code. The aim is for anyone who has taken the workshop to be 
 able to set up their own geospatial stack on Kubernetes.\n\nPlease bring y
 our own computer. Workshop environment with Kubernetes will be provided\, 
 primarily accessed via your web browser.
