FOSS4G North America: A Premier Open Geospatial Technology Conference

FOSS4G North America is the premier conference for open-source geospatial technology, bringing together a vibrant and welcoming community of technologists, end-users, academics, and decision-makers. This event provides a unique platform for exploring the latest advancements in geospatial technology, sharing innovative solutions, and fostering collaboration among the diverse stakeholders in the geospatial industry.

 

NLT's Commitment to Open Source and Proprietary Platforms

NLT’s participation in FOSS4G-NA 2024 underscores our commitment to the open-source geospatial community while also recognizing the importance of proprietary platforms like Esri's ArcGIS. We believe in the power of leveraging both open-source and proprietary tools to meet the diverse needs of our customers and ensure their missions are accomplished efficiently and effectively.

This year, our team will be presenting on the topic: Leveraging ArcGIS Investments Alongside FOSS4G & Open-Source Data. This talk will focus on how geospatial practitioners can play a pivotal role in supporting and enhancing these investments by leveraging all software and data systems available to them. We’ll explore the reciprocal relationship where many FOSS4G-based products and data platforms integrate seamlessly with the Esri ArcGIS environment and vice versa.

 

The Importance of Leveraging Investments in ArcGIS and FOSS4G

In today's rapidly evolving geospatial landscape, the ability to maximize investments in both ArcGIS and FOSS4G is crucial for organizations looking to achieve their mission objectives. By integrating these platforms, practitioners can harness the strengths of both proprietary and open-source tools, creating a robust geospatial infrastructure that supports a wide range of applications. NLT's presentation will delve into the practical strategies for achieving this integration, showcasing real-world examples of how these technologies can work together to deliver powerful solutions.
