tyl...@google.com
Hello everyone!
We are excited to share that the application for the 9th annual Geo for Good Summit is now open! The Summit is intended for nonprofits, scientists and other change-makers who want to leverage technology and use mapping tools (such as Google Earth, Earth Engine, and My Maps) for positive impact in the world.
This year’s Geo for Good Summit is a virtual conference to be held October 20-21, 2020. Originally Geo for Good had been scheduled for September 2020 as an in-person event, however due to the extraordinary circumstances this year we have shifted to a virtual event in October.
The Summit will be an opportunity to hear the latest updates about our mapping technologies and learn how others in the public benefit community are using these technologies for impact. The summit will offer a mix of presentations and Q&A as well as on-demand training sessions recorded at previous Geo for Good Summits that you can take at your own pace at any time.
