SPATIAL
DATA SCIENCE CONFERENCE
201 Moore St
9am - 6pm December 1, 2017
Brooklyn, NY
We are entering an era of unprecedented amounts of location-based data. In order to harness it properly we face questions of scale, analysis methods, bias, and complexity.
Our first Spatial Data Science Conference brought together academics, practitioners, industry leaders and technologists to focus on the challenges and promise that spatial data will bring in the coming years.
We look forward to seeing you at next year's conference!
