Join Leading Voices Shaping the Future of Climate and Conservation Technology SkyTruth is convening the field's top leaders and practitioners for a high-impact gathering focused on one overarching question: how can geospatial data accelerate our collective progress on the planet's most pressing environmental challenges? This isn't just a series of panels, but a working session designed to surface gaps, spark partnerships, and drive action. It is built around three of the most consequential data frontiers in environmental science today: Exposing Ocean Pollution at Scale: Be part of the conversation around SkyTruth's groundbreaking new report revealing the extent, concentration, and culpability of chronic oil pollution in our oceans — a major advancement for mapping human industrial activity at sea and an essential step towards holding polluters accountable. Uncovering the Hidden Costs of Oil and Gas: Join leading organizations tackling one of climate's biggest blind spots: emissions caused by the offshore oil and gas industry. Help close the gap between detection and action on the sector's least-visible but most damaging climate impacts. Protecting Biodiversity from Industrial Threats: Contribute to cross-sector efforts spanning philanthropy, government, and the environmental movement to measure and mitigate the impact of mining operations on the world's most critical ecosystems. This is a hands-on gathering. In addition to brief, focused panels and interviews, participants will get to work directly with data tools developed by SkyTruth and our partners. The agenda prioritizes opportunities to forge new partnerships and dedicated time for participants to surface gaps and discuss concrete plans for tackling the environmental sector's toughest problems.
