Two new editions of Satsummit have just been announced: St. Louis will host the conference on 18 and 19 November, followed by Lisbon next year on 16 and 17 March.
As usual, the conferences cover a range of earth-observation-related topics; this time with special emphasis on the effects of AI on the landscape. From the newsletter (unfortunately, there’s no public permalink available):
The satellite and geospatial sectors are entering a period of rapid change. Artificial intelligence is reshaping how Earth observation data is analyzed and applied. Commercial and government priorities are increasingly intertwined. Questions around access, competition, ethics, funding, and public benefit are becoming more urgent than ever.
Topics will include:
- The role of satellite data in humanitarian response, conservation, and climate resilience
- Funding shifts and their impact on open science and mission-driven work
- Sustaining community resources as funding landscapes shift
- The dual-use dilemma and when satellite imagery serves both humanitarian and military ends
- How humanitarian and climate organizations are doing mission-critical work with less
- GeoAI in practice: what works, what’s hype, and who benefits
- Commercial imagery, government pressure and the price of access
