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.
