Geo4LibCamp 2025 Keynote Announced + One Week Left to Register
We are excited to announce the keynote speaker for Geo4LibCamp 2025!
Michael Corey will deliver a talk titled "Mapping Prejudice: The Process is the Product."
Mapping Prejudice's Deed Machine software is built with people at the center in a time when loud voices are claiming that LLMs and other AI technologies are the only way to tackle big challenges. But Mapping Prejudice's Geospatial, Technical and Data Lead Michael Corey will argue that too many conversations about scale are focused on solving the wrong problems at a moment where researchers and their institutions desperately need more connection with the communities they purport to serve.
Check out the full description!
Registration deadline is April 21 ‒ please register as soon as possible!
In addition to the keynote we have two panels (Geospatial Library Support Services & Geospatial Metadata Strategies) and two workshops (Introduction to Allmaps & New Tools for Writing Code).
We also have proposed lightning talks on the following topics:
GIS and a Newly Established University Open Source Program Office
BTAA-GIN Geodata Collection Pilot
Running GeoBlacklight on GitHub pages
Deployment and Sharing of a World-Wide Geospatial Database of Political Entities
Highlights of the SDOH & Place Data Discovery Application
An Introduction to East View's Global Geography Library

Geo4LibCamp is a hands-on meeting to bring together people working in any area that involves geospatial data. The main focus is to share best-practices, solve common problems, address technical issues, and plan for the future of geospatial librarianship. For the purposes of the camp, we broadly define geospatial data from scanned maps and aerial photography to highly structured geodata.
Please see the Geo4LibCamp website for venue information, a tentative agenda, and details on the conference themes for this year!
We hope to see you there!
