Climate & Disaster Resilience Seminars – 2024
The OGC Stakeholder Community Coordination Group
is hosting a series of engaging seminars in early 2024, focused on Climate and Disaster Resilience. These events will feature expert speakers and panels highlighting the use of geospatial technologies and data, with a special emphasis on those using OGC Standards, across various resilience applications. The sessions are open to the public and free to attend, welcoming anyone interested in how spatial data and technology can contribute to strengthening climate and disaster resilience.
The seminars will take place on the third Wednesday of each month from 11:00 to 12:30 US Eastern. Each session will include a 30-minute presentation or panel discussion, followed by Q&A and brief updates on OGC Pilots, Working Groups, and upcoming opportunities.
