This evening will be about creating geographic maps. About what tools are out there for which purposes and what the challenges are.

One of them for sure is how to deal with extremely large data sets. And we are excited to have Aaron Williams from MapD with us for this one. He will do a short workshop where we can use their web-based data visualization interface, which uses the GPU to accelerate speed and rendering capabilities.

About MapD
MapD is designed to leverage the massively parallel processing of GPUs alongside traditional CPU compute, for extraordinary increases in performance at scale. (More here: http://www.mapd.com)

.:: ALSO WE CALL YOU VANCOUVER DATA VIZ COMMUNITY ::.

Did you ever work with geo data to create maps and can tell us about your experience? Like, tell us which tools you used, what problems you ran into, and show us the project? Let us know! We would love to see what you are working on. Format could be anything from 2 - 10 minutes. (Just write a note when RSVPing or send a message to the organizers)

.:: LIMITED SPOTS ::.
Due to venue and format we are limiting the number of attendees to 30 this time. Which means please only RSVP when you are actually planning to attend. Thanks!

If you want to participate. You can also just watch the demos. But it's probably more fun if you can try things on your own laptop.
