Past Event

Spatial Data Science Conference

• Wherobots attended the Spatial Data Science Conference in New York last month. Head of Marketing Ben Pruden and Senior Solution Architect Daniel Smith led a workshop on insurance risk analysis using Wherobots and CARTO.
• We also took the stage with GeoPostcodes to showcase how Apache Sedona on Wherobots Cloud can be leveraged to better understand population data, reducing processing times from weeks to days.
• During the meetup, we enjoyed some drinks and light bites while having a great time connecting with members of the Apache Sedona Community.
• We’re grateful for the opportunity to meet and learn from others in the geospatial data space, hearing about their use cases and how they’re leveraging these technologies.
