Efficient Labeling in QGIS: Practical techniques for better maps
2026-10-06 , Pegna

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 talk, I will present practical techniques for configuring label placement and demonstrate how they perform through a range of real-world examples. I will also share useful tips for working effectively with labels in map layouts.
This presentation is aimed at QGIS users who want to improve their labeling skills and expand their overall understanding of label management.
