Keynote - Michael Corey - “Mapping Prejudice: The Process is the Product” - 9-10am (central)

Mapping Prejudice is a national leader in researching racial covenants, which are discriminatory clauses that were put into property records to restrict home ownership to only white people. 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.


Panel Discussion: OpenGeoMetadata - 11-11:30am (central)



We hope to see you there!
