Innovation Days DC is the premier annual Open Geospatial Consortium meeting in Washington, DC. The theme of the 2024 meeting is Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) Futures. Through as series of presentations, panel discussions, and collaborative activities, participants will have the opportunity to:

  • Gain insights into OGC Standards-driven geospatial technologies for performant, scalable SDIs
  • Collaborate with a diverse community geospatial experts
  • Network with leaders and technologists from government, industry, and academia

Innovation Days DC will begin with an opening keynote by Josh Delmonico, Executive Director of the Federal Geographic Data Committee. This talk will set the stage for a panel discussion on the future of SDIs. Next, a series of lightning talks will cover critical uses of geospatial data, including climate change, smart cities, and open science. The first day will conclude with a roundtable collaboration, giving participants the opportunity to discuss climate data interoperability challenges and identify solutions.

The second day will begin with a keynote, followed by a panel exploring how the rapid adoption of AI has impacted the integrity, provenance, and trust in geospatial data and analyses. A second roundtable collaboration focused on AI applications and outcomes will provide practical insights into the integration of AI with SDIs. The third day features a hands-on training session on OGC APIs and an invite-only meeting of the OGC Strategic Member Advisory Committee.

Each Innovation Days DC session advances the OGC vision of building the future of location with community and technology for the good of society. Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is a critical component for pushing this vision forward.
