Artificial intelligence and geospatial data are reshaping how we understand and interact with our world. GeoAI – the convergence of these two – is driving smarter decision-making, innovation and sustainability across sectors.

This year, we published two new online courses called Location & AI, designed to help you learn and apply GeoAI in practice:

  • Location & AI: The Basics – aimed at managers and generalists with little or no prior knowledge
  • Location & AI: Deep Dive into Practical Solutions – aimed at specialists in AI and geospatial fields

Both courses are available globally for free at academy.ogc.org.

Join this one-hour webinar to get fresh insights from experts and learn how GeoAI is being applied in research, innovation, and business!

Whether you're a manager exploring the opportunities of AI, a specialist looking to expand your expertise, or simply curious about how GeoAI can benefit your organisation, this webinar gives you a practical and engaging overview of the field.
