​Join AWS, Wherobots and co-hosts 9Zero and Earthmover at the AWS GenAI Loft for a hands-on workshop and innovation showcase focused on building physical world intelligence solutions with geospatial data, AI, and large language models. Discover how climate tech innovators are driving resilience using data about the the earth —from satellite imagery and IoT sensors to infrastructure and climate data—at unprecedented scale and performance.

​The event features:

• ​Interactive workshops on building spatial data solutions on AWS using modern technologies

• ​Real-world use cases from climate tech builders pushing the boundaries of location and environmental intelligence 

• ​A workshop on building GenAI applications based on real world environmental data, leveraging the data engineering capabilities of Wherobots, Earthmover and AWS services

• ​Explorations of how LLMs can reason directly over geospatial, earth and environmental datasets

​Who Should Attend

​This event is ideal for data engineers, AI/ML practitioners, and product leaders who want to:

• ​Turn raw geospatial data into real-time intelligence

• ​Scale analytics on top of open formats like Apache Iceberg, Zarr, and Parquet

• ​Power natural language apps with spatial reasoning

• ​Build faster, lower cost, smarter systems with modern data stack tooling

​Whether you're building the next climate intelligence platform or integrating environmental sustainability insights into your product, this is your launchpad.
