The Canadian Rockies are spectacular. Thank you @N51Conference for picking such an amazing location for our #geospatial event! WOW 🤩

@TurnerBrinton @N51Conference A lot to share and go over thru tweets! But @mouthofmorrison wrote up a good summary a few weeks ago that resonates

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

@GeoSkeptic @MaggieMaps @ianschuler @dborges_1 @jedsundwall @AzeltonKrystal We love this!

@sachasiani @Brianna_R_Pagan Unfortunately we don’t record at N51 - you gotta be there!

1/ Yesterday I gave a keynote at @N51Conference making the case on why EO data should be considered a common good and made free/accessible to all. As all common goods before it - colonialism and capitalism, both the root causes of climate change, are entrenched in the industry.

@billdollins @N51Conference 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!

That’s a wrap on NORTH51! We had an amazing conference led by @datamongerbonny Thank you for encouraging, challenging, and inspiring the stories told this week! Photo credit: @geoskeptic

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/2024/04/c… @Linda__Stevens @geo_will
