Annual geospatial data science conference powered by CARTO, running since 2017 (first editions in New York, at Columbia University, in partnership with the University of Chicago Center for Spatial Data Science). Online in 2020-2021; since 2022 two in-person editions a year, London (Royal Geographical Society, May) and New York (Columbia University, October; New World Stages in 2026), each with a technical workshop day; recorded as id_suffix 'london'/'newyork'. CARTO also runs SDSC-branded one-day bootcamps and industry summits (Spatial App Development Summit 2023, Financial Services and CPG & Retail summits 2021), which are not recorded. No conference-specific social accounts found (CARTO's own are used for promotion). Sponsor walls are logo-only; logos that could not be identified were left out.
