GeoMeetup

The financial sector has spent a decade being told that satellite data would transform how it prices risk. It mostly didn’t. Then something changed.
Join Tee Barr, Chief Strategy Officer at Clairvoyint.ai, for a talk tracing the full arc of Spatial Finance—from its promising origins and structural failure modes, to the foundation model breakthroughs that are finally making it work, and the five developments that will define the next decade of the field.
This is not a pitch deck. It’s an honest account of why a genuinely important idea took so long to get off the ground—and a clear-eyed look at where it’s heading now that it finally has.
What we’ll cover:
• The origin story
• The autopsy
• The revival
• The future

### Also on the program

• A presentation from Felt on what they’re building and how modern collaborative mapping is changing geospatial workflows.
• Linda Stevens will give a preview of the upcoming FOSS4G North America conference, coming this fall to Sacramento.
Expect a great mix of geospatial professionals, developers, climate analysts, and map enthusiasts, plus the usual GeoMeetup social energy.
This event is held in conjunction with Felt as part of the broader Climate Week activities.
Come for the ideas, stay for the conversation.
