About Event

​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. Speakers include:

    • ​Karl Wurster, Chief Technology Officer, SkyTruth

    • ​Paul Woods, Chief Innovation Officer, Global Fishing Watch

    • ​Namrata Kolla, Head of Skylight, Ai2

    • ​Simon Bernard, CEO, Plastic Odyssey

  • ​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. Speakers include:

    • ​John Amos, CEO, SkyTruth

    • ​Kenzie Huffman, VP of Strategy and Impact, Carbon Mapper

    • ​Scott Zimmerman, Project Manager, Global Energy Monitor

    • ​Michelangelo Conserva, Research Scientist, Google

    • ​Aaron Clark, Methane Investigator, Data Desk

  • ​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. Speakers include:

    • ​Mitchelle De Leon, Chief Impact Officer, SkyTruth

    • ​Flora Pereira, Chief Impact Officer, Pulitzer Center

    • ​Mikel Maron, Product and Operations Lead, Earth Genome

    • ​Francis Gassert, Strategy and Impact, Vizzuality

    • ​Ankur Shah, Geospatial Data Scientist, PlanetSapling
