Spatial Lightning Talks (28 Feb. 10am PST)

This community will be well represented by Craig Beech of Regenerative SPACE & the Southern African SCGIS in next Monday's Spatial Lightning Talks, hosted online by UCSB's Center for Spatial Studies. In one hour, 13 presenters from six countries will each have three minutes to deliver a perspective where space--interpreted broadly--matters. Afterwards, presenters and attendees will be able to interact via virtual tables (i.e., small-group video chatrooms).
