Agenda
We do a round table introductions
Intro to QGIS
QGIS is a free and open source desktop GIS used to view, edit, analyse, and publish spatial data. It is one of the most approachable tools for getting started with geospatial work because it supports common formats, has a strong plugin ecosystem, and runs well for everything from simple map making to more advanced analysis.
What we'll cover in the workshop
- Setting up QGIS and understanding the interface
- Loading core data formats like GeoJSON, Shapefiles, and CSV with coordinates
- Coordinate reference systems and reprojection essentials
- Symbol styling, labels, attribute tables, and filtering
- Intro analysis workflows using selection, joins, clipping, buffering, and measurement
Bring a laptop if you can. We'll keep this practical and beginner-friendly.

What is "Geospatial"?
Geospatial refers to anything related to location and geography—maps, satellite imagery, GPS, spatial analysis, and the technology behind it all. If it has coordinates, it's geospatial.
Think Google Maps, urban planning, climate modelling, drone surveys, OpenStreetMap, routing algorithms, or even tracking your morning run. It's a broad field that touches almost every industry.
Who Should Attend?
This meetup is for everyone—you don't need to be an expert. If any of these describe you, you belong here:
- Anyone curious about maps, data, and how location shapes our world
- Students exploring geospatial as a career path
- GIS analysts, cartographers, and remote sensing specialists
- Developers building with spatial data, mapping libraries, or location APIs
- Urban planners, environmental scientists, and researchers
- Open source contributors (OSM, QGIS, PostGIS, GeoServer, etc.)
