The Magic of Search + Location with Nathan Reese of Elastic

The longstanding contradiction in GIS is while we’ve been laser-focused on the importance of location, our end-users are still frustrated by their ability to find the information nuggets in the mounds of spatial data we shovel their way on a daily basis. Elasticsearch is bridging the gap by marrying their turbo-charged search capabilities with geographic data. With the recent release of Elastic Maps, combining traditional forms of search with geo querying gives users a singularly powerful information retrieval experience. We'll also dive into how to deliver findings and metrics through maps and dashboards using the Kibana visualization platform.

Nathan Reese is a developer at Elastic, the company behind the Elastic Stack — that's Elasticsearch, Kibana, Beats, and Logstash. Nathan is currently working on Elastic Maps, Kibana's geospatial application and has more than 10 years of experience visualizing geospatial data.

We are looking forward to his presentation on Tuesday, 1/28 at the Tential Tampa office! Please be sure to RSVP so we have enough refreshments.
