This workshop provides a comprehensive guide to setting up a project for field data collection workflows and synchronization. Organizations worldwide rely on QField for efficient mobile data collection. QFieldCloud acts as the bridge between desktop QGIS and mobile devices, supporting collaborative editing with GeoPackage and PostGIS layers. However, proper project configuration is essential to prevent data loss, avoid synchronization conflicts, and optimize storage. In this workshop, we will explain the core concepts of QFieldCloud and guide you through the following workflow: - Understand the synchronization process (QGIS to Cloud, Cloud to Field, and applying Deltas) - Choose the correct working mode (Offline Editing vs. Direct Data Access) - Implement project configuration best practices (managing UUIDs, relative paths, and modular GeoPackages) - Manage teams, restrict project files, and resolve data conflicts - Push and synchronize changes seamlessly using the QFieldSync plugin - This workshop is for GIS professionals, field data managers, and QGIS users looking to deploy reliable mobile data collection campaigns. Requirements for the Attendees - QGIS installed on a laptop - QField app installed on a mobile device (Android or iOS) - QFieldSync plugin installed in QGIS - A registered account on QFieldCloud qgis-uc2026-5730-qfield-and-qfieldcloud-project-setup-team-management-and-best-practices Short Workshop (90min) Johnny Sequeira en false https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/LLGMWQ/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/LLGMWQ/feedback/ Bridge 3-Short Workshops Short Workshop 2026-10-05T14:00:00+02:00 14:00 01:30 Expressions are one of QGIS's key features and a major pillar of its success. Powerful, flexible, and available almost everywhere in the interface, they allow for complete customization of any QGIS project, regardless of the desired level of complexity. Expressions provide a unified language that opens the door to increasingly creative and efficient uses, and are enriched with new features in each new version of QGIS. This workshop will provide an opportunity to gain a thorough understanding of this language, starting with its fundamentals—expression structure, operators, and essential functions—and gradually progressing to more advanced uses such as conditional expressions, geometry generation, and variable manipulation. We will cover the use of expressions in several parts of a QGIS project: • Customizing labels • Defining dynamic symbologies • Configuring elements in layouts • Creating dynamic feature forms • Advanced use in the field calculator • Filtering and selecting features (layer filters, expression selection, dynamic subsets) • Geoprocessing • etc. Through concrete examples, participants will learn to fully leverage the potential of expressions. The workshop also aims to be a forum for discussion: everyone will be able to share their ideas, challenges, needs, and tips, contributing to a collective reflection on best practices and the future development of this essential language in QGIS. qgis-uc2026-5782-qgis-expressions-from-labels-to-geometry-generators Short Workshop (90min) Benoit De Mezzo en false https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/7WK3TK/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/7WK3TK/feedback/ Bridge 3-Short Workshops Short Workshop 2026-10-05T16:00:00+02:00 16:00 01:30 I'd like to spend some time during the (or every) QGIS User Conference on gathering with the QGIS User Groups world wide. The goal is sharing ideas and activities, helping new user groups to start up, communication with members, improve financial funding of QGIS, evaluate the voting process, et cetera. qgis-uc2026-5816-qgis-user-group-meeting Short Workshop (90min) Raymond Nijssen en false https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/FTVFGR/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/FTVFGR/feedback/ Bridge 1-Short Workshops Short Workshop 2026-10-05T11:00:00+02:00 11:00 01:30 Sometimes QGIS is missing a tool or two needed for your own workflows or project-specific capabilities. QGIS plugins can fill that gap: they let you automate repetitive tasks, extend QGIS with entirely new functionality, tailor the interface to your needs, and integrate external data sources — making them one of the most versatile ways to get more out of QGIS. Using Python, you can write these custom extensions yourself. In this workshop, participants will build their own QGIS plugin from scratch and learn the fundamentals of plugin development. We will start by exploring how to interact with the QGIS API using Python (the PyQGIS library), including how to access layers, trigger actions, and interact with the user interface programatically. From there, we will walk through the core structure of a QGIS plugin and set up a minimal working plugin. Next, we will convert an existing PyQGIS script into a plugin, then extend it with a basic dialog created in Qt Designer. Along the way, we will discuss practical development patterns such as organizing plugin code, handling user input, and debugging. By the end of the session, participants will have a working plugin they can further adapt for their own projects. Participants should have basic knowledge of Python and QGIS. Some prior experience with PyQGIS is helpful, though the essential PyQGIS fundamentals will also be briefly introduced. qgis-uc2026-5737-build-your-first-qgis-plugin Short Workshop (90min) Peter GipperNimrod Gavish en true https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/VD3WTY/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/VD3WTY/feedback/ Bridge 1-Short Workshops Short Workshop 2026-10-05T14:00:00+02:00 14:00 01:30 This hands-on workshop introduces how map production can be automated using Python/PyQGIS scripts together with QGIS print layouts. It builds on the preceding talk and focuses on practical implementation. We start with a short introduction to print layout templates and their main elements, such as maps, legends, text labels, images, and scale bars, as well as a brief introduction to PyQGIS. In the practical part, participants learn how to prepare a layout for automation by assigning item IDs to its elements. We will then write PyQGIS code to control and modify the print layout. Using PyQGIS, layout elements are accessed via their IDs and dynamically updated—for example by changing text, adjusting map settings, modifying legends, or inserting images. As a first step, a single layout is exported as a PDF. A prepared example project is then introduced, containing input data (CSV), a GeoPackage, and print layout templates. Participants will extend the provided script step by step and finally run a batch export. The focus of the workshop is on the interaction between Python/PyQGIS code and QGIS print layouts. To support this, participants work with prepared PyQGIS scripts which are extended. Participants should have basic knowledge of QGIS and Python. Prior experience with the QGIS Python API is helpful but not required. qgis-uc2026-5787-automating-map-production-with-pyqgis-and-qgis-print-layouts Short Workshop (90min) Isabelle Korsch en false https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/LTMDDW/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/LTMDDW/feedback/ Bridge 1-Short Workshops Short Workshop 2026-10-05T16:00:00+02:00 16:00 01:30 Do you finally want to understand what relations and references mean in QGIS and how to work with them? In this workshop we will give an introduction to the different forms of simple and complex data relationships. We will look at how they are managed in QGIS and how they can be configured and edited in the attribute form with different widgets. We will also take a closer look at cardinalities and relationship strengths.

It could be anything from fetching, processing, analyzing to storage of data. The purpose of building a model is to easy and fast repeat complicated operations. It will also be a documentation of the work. Another purpose could be to automate tasks such as fetching and processing of data. The latest versions of QGIS have brought a lot of improvements that make model builder a much more user-friendly and powerful tool.. We are trying out using the model builder to do some common data management tasks. Bring a computer with QGIS 3.44 (4.0, 4.2?) installed if you want to follow along and do the exercises yourself. It may also work with slightly older versions of QGIS, although not everything works exactly the same. Starts basic.

Participants will collaboratively survey the conference venue to identify and document accessibility barriers such as entrances, stairs, ramps, signage, and facilities. Working in small teams, they will collect structured geospatial data directly on-site using QField, including attributes, comments, and photos. The collected data is synchronized into a shared QGIS project, where results are reviewed, analyzed, and discussed live. This creates a highly interactive learning experience in which participants not only observe but actively contribute to a meaningful dataset. The workshop demonstrates how mobile GIS can be applied efficiently in spatial planning and accessibility analysis. It covers the full workflow from project setup and field data collection to synchronization and evaluation in QGIS. Designed for beginners to professional users, the session highlights the power of open-source tools in a practical and engaging context, turning the venue itself into a live GIS learning environment. qgis-uc2026-5827-mapping-accessibility-with-qfield-a-collaborative-on-site-survey-workshop Mobile Data Collection COFTDavid Bögner en false https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/NWFRMA/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/NWFRMA/feedback/ Bridge 3-Short Workshops Short Workshop 2026-10-06T14:00:00+02:00 14:00 01:30 Messy, overlapping labels are one of the most common challenges in map design - and a major source of time-consuming manual fixes. While QGIS provides a powerful labeling engine, many users only scratch the surface of what it can do. In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to configure and optimize label placement using a range of practical techniques. Through guided exercises and real-world examples, we will explore key settings in the labeling engine and how they influence label behavior. Participants will also learn how to work with labels in map layouts to ensure clear and consistent map design. By the end of the workshop, participants will have a solid understanding of how to create well-placed labels and how to streamline their labeling workflows in QGIS. Target audience: QGIS users with basic experience who want to improve their labeling skills and gain more control over automated label placement. qgis-uc2026-5774-mastering-label-placement-in-qgis Short Workshop (90min) Mie Winstrup en false https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/JZNGCA/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/JZNGCA/feedback/ Bridge 1-Short Workshops Short Workshop 2026-10-06T09:00:00+02:00 09:00 01:30 Lizmap Web Client is an open-source software allowing to publish web map applications based on QGIS projects. All layers managed in QGIS can be visualized in Lizmap, and vector layers can also contain information that is worth displaying using charts: bar charts, line graphs, pie charts and tables. The aim of this workshop is to demonstrate how to create and display plots in the Lizmap interface using vector data (PostgreSQL, FGB, CSV, etc.). A project with ready-made data will be provided to the participants. We will use weather data from the website https://open-meteo.com/ (Free and open-source weather API).

Starting with basemap acquisition, we will retrieve elevation data, enrich it with OpenStreetMap features, and generate a 3D scene suitable for web-based interactive visualization or export to 3D printing software. Designed for beginners and educators, the session emphasizes reproducibility and accessibility. Participants will leave with a digital 3D model and a reusable workflow for teaching, research, or public engagement. qgis-uc2026-5729-from-terrain-to-3d-building-printable-models-with-qgis-plugins Basics & Education Matthew Toro en false https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/M7WC7R/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/M7WC7R/feedback/ Bridge 1-Short Workshops Short Workshop 2026-10-06T14:00:00+02:00 14:00 01:30 The INTERLIS modeling standard and the QGIS Model Baker plugin provide everything you need to collect, manage and exchange harmonized data and ensure consistency, data quality and system independence. So let's have a look at it. This workshop provides an initial impression of INTERLIS and shows how easily you can use it in QGIS. Authorities in Switzerland and Colombia use a model driven approach for collecting, managing and exchanging harmonized data. INTERLIS is the data modeling standard for geospatial data, ensuring consistency, data quality and system independence. Model Baker is a QGIS plugin to create projects from plain text INTERLIS models including layer tree, forms, relationships and more. In this workshop, we will explain the benefits of INTERLIS and guide you through the following workflow: + Analyze a conceptual model in INTERLIS + Convert a conceptual model to a database (ili2db) + Build automatic forms for data capture from your database (QGIS Model Baker) + Capture the data (QGIS) + Validate the data (QGIS Model Baker / iliValidator) + Exchange the data (ili2db) This workshop is for INTERLIS beginners and people interested in this approach.

While a wide range of tools exists for satellite processing, spatial modelling, and field data collection, these systems often operate independently, limiting their effectiveness in real-world operational environments. This workshop introduces a practical framework for building an open System of Systems (SoS) using QGIS as a central integration platform for urban environmental monitoring and decision support. The workshop positions QGIS not merely as a desktop GIS tool, but as an orchestration layer capable of connecting heterogeneous subsystems, including satellite-based Earth observation (e.g., Sentinel-1 InSAR products), AI-assisted detection workflows, multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA), and field-based data collection. Participants will learn how to integrate these components into a coherent workflow that transforms raw geospatial data into actionable intelligence. Through guided, hands-on sessions, participants will work with real-world datasets to (1) import and visualize time-series InSAR outputs, (2) integrate multiple spatial indicators relevant to urban environmental conditions, (3) implement MCDA techniques within QGIS for spatial prioritization, and (4) conceptualize how these analytical components can be embedded within a broader System of Systems architecture supporting operational decision-making. The workshop emphasizes open-source tools, reproducible workflows, and interoperability, aligning with current discussions on GIS sovereignty and sustainable digital infrastructure. By the end of the session, participants will gain both technical skills and conceptual understanding of how QGIS can be leveraged as a strategic platform for integrating data, analytics, and operations in complex urban systems. This workshop is suitable for GIS practitioners, urban planners, researchers, and decision-makers interested in advancing from standalone spatial analysis toward integrated, system-level geospatial solutions. qgis-uc2026-5808-building-an-open-system-of-systems-in-qgis-for-ai-driven-urban-environmental-monitoring-and-decision-support Cloud & Infrastructure Sultan Hasan Alsultan en false https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/ANSATE/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/ANSATE/feedback/ WS - Riders Club 1 Workshop (workshop day) 2026-10-07T14:00:00+02:00 14:00 03:30 Tired of repetitive GIS workflows that consume time and lead to errors?

With Mergin Maps, you can take your QGIS projects with you anywhere in the field. You can then add, store, and edit your data collaboratively, synchronizing it in real time between team members and from the mobile app to QGIS. In this workshop, discover all the benefits of collecting data with Mergin Maps compared with a traditional approach. Discover how the Mergin Maps ecosystem integrates with QGIS: The Mergin Maps QGIS plugin The Mergin Maps mobile app Mergin Maps Server and Web This workshop offers an introduction to using Mergin Maps: converting a QGIS project into a Mergin Maps-compatible project, creating forms suited to mobile interfaces, and putting mobile data entry into practice with the app. The workshop will also cover best practices for maintaining a Mergin Maps project, as well as an overview of the advanced features offered by Mergin Maps, including photo management, GNSS receiver support, synchronization with a PostGIS database, geofencing, and more. And also… a look at the future improvements we are currently working on for upcoming versions of Mergin Maps! qgis-uc2026-5141-getting-started-with-mergin-maps Workshop (workshop day) Saber RazmjooeiJulien WADDLE en false https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/LMB3SA/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/LMB3SA/feedback/ WS - Diva 2 Workshop (workshop day) 2026-10-07T14:00:00+02:00 14:00 03:30 Aim: Setting up your own self-hosted data capture infrastructure with Mergin Maps and QGIS (docker / local) Mergin Maps is built on an ecosystem of components that can also be deployed and used locally for development, testing, and integration purposes. If you want to really understand how Mergin Maps works under the hood, the best way is to run the whole stack yourself. In this workshop, we're going to walk through setting up Mergin Maps Community Edition (CE) locally on your own machine. Having a local setup is incredibly useful. Instead of testing things on a live server, you get a fast, isolated environment where you can freely experiment. We'll show you exactly how the database, server, and client apps connect. It’s the perfect sandbox for debugging issues, trying out custom integrations, or just getting comfortable with the architecture. By the end of the session, you'll have a working local instance and a much better grasp on how to manage the platform on your own terms. qgis-uc2026-5142-setting-up-your-own-self-hosted-data-capture-infrastructure-with-mergin-maps Workshop (workshop day) Julien WADDLE en false https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/FQ7UDA/ https://talks.osgeo.org/qgis-uc2026/talk/FQ7UDA/feedback/ CM - Diva 1 Workshop (workshop day) 2026-10-07T09:00:00+02:00 09:00 15:00 The Contributor Meeting will be held on Wednesday through Friday, and is open to anyone who wants to contribute to QGIS.
