We have big ideas about the future of geospatial and know you do too. Attending is more than just that, it’s about sharing and challenging the status quo.

Maybe you heard? This year's @N51Conference was thought-provoking. But that's the point; we should be able to have real conversations, and #geospatial is no different. linkedin.com/pulse/dramatic-…

After the @N51Conference we hiked up Johnston Canyon to see some impressive waterfalls and the inkpots. Ice most of the way, good thing we rented spikes! #geonerdsonice

It was amazing. Open conversations about difficult subjects with brilliant geospatial professionals is what we need more of. We missed your insights however so definitely mark your calendar!

Great discussion of the future of maps and visualization of geospatial data at @N51Conference right now, but I think we need to start thinking beyond visualizing for human eyes. cloudnativegeo.org/blog/2024… @Linda__Stevens @geo_will

7/ I am reminded that more than any other academic/career accolade, I want to be known as being brave in such a critical turning point of our time on Earth. I hope these hard conversations allow us to move beyond cartesian ways of thinking and foster the collective action we need

6/ I also received the most humbling feedback of my life when Professor Steven Wofsy - Harvard professor, six decades in the field, co-initiator of MethaneSAT - came up to me and said it was the most courageous talk he's ever listened to in his career.

5/ Lastly, we need to be able to have uncomfortable conversations. Yesterday I heard many praises, but I also triggered and annoyed many others.
