We're back from our conversations, workshops, and hikes in Utah for @cloudnativegeo.org Forum 2026! This year's #CNGForum was full of discussion about unifying data types, & how we can all work to use data more efficiently and effectively. We're excited to continue this work as we close out 2026!

It's almost time for the 2026 @cloudnativegeo.org Forum! We have a bunch of talks lined up, and we couldn't be more excited to connect with everyone in Snowbird next week. If you'll be there, swing by our table and say hello!!

We are headed back to #ClimateWeekNYC! If you'll be there too, reach out to Zoe Cohen and Terence Tuhinanshu to meet up. We're especially looking forward to the CNG NYC event hosted by @cloudnativegeo. For more information about the event, visit: cloudnativegeo.org/events/cng-n...

Responsible Gen-AI for #NASAEarthData 2026 is a wrap! @jasongilman.bsky.social's highlight: working directly w/ scientists and researchers to help them learn how to use powerful tools -- & putting the right tools directly in users' hands. More info: responsible-genai-hackweek.github.io/fire-cost/

Hear Dan Pilone's thoughts about open data as it relates to AI & Queryable Earth from the 2026 #AIforGood Summit! Dan is joined by @awscloud.bsky.social's Tonix & Guyu to discuss how standards like the Model Context Protocol turn data ➡️ real world solutions! youtu.be/a055h0OEmtc?...

We are counting down the days to #ClimateWeekNYC 🗽 and looking forward to contributing to this great @cloudnativegeo.org event! Let us know if you'll be in New York for Climate Week too! Check out the full agenda here: cloudnativegeo.org/events/cng-n...

Next week, @jasongilman.bsky.social is headed to Seattle for Responsible Gen-AI for NASA Earthdata 2026! We're looking forward to contributing to important conversations surrounding AI strategy and data access. For more info about the event: responsible-genai.hackweek.io

Last week, our team had the opportunity to attend #IGARSS in Washington, DC. We loved having the opportunity to connect with other open data fans, & to hear from users who are employing Earth Search in their research!

Introducing: Agentic Queryable Earth!! We've leveled up Queryable Earth to make it more conversational and to unlock the ability for it to integrate with external tools and data sources. More info: element84.com/geospatial/i...

New on the blog 📢 🚨 Jarrett Keifer is revisiting the age-old question, is Zarr the new COG?? Spoiler alert: the answer is still no 😅 Jarrett reviews changes and updates from past year and discuss the shrinking gap between the two data formats. element84.com/software-eng...

We're gearing up for next week's @esipfed.bsky.social Summer Meeting! One main highlight for our team will definitely be Tuesday's ESDIS AI/ML Strategies session -- don't miss it!!

It's officially Geospatial Tech Radar Season!! Our E84 team is hard at work developing the 2026 edition of our annual Geospatial Tech Radar -- and, as always, we're accepting external community contributions! Chime in: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

We appreciated the opportunity to discuss access to open data at #AIforGood Global Summit in #Geneva on Thursday! 🌍🤝 Dan Pilone shared the stage with several interdisciplinary leaders to discuss "Open Data for All: Moving Beyond Raw Data to Real Impact".

New on the blog! 🚨 📢 We're discussing the typical conversation structure we have with new-to-us organizations, and we're sharing FAQs that we regularly answer during introductory calls. Anything you're curious about that we didn't cover? element84.com/company/gett...

If you've ever wondered how our E84 team approaches Federal contracts, we have a new blog just for you! We spotlight a recent conversation with our Federal Director, Mark Reese, and discuss what's next for E84 in the federal space. element84.com/company/fede...

We'll be in DC next week for the @awscloud.bsky.social AWS Summit! We're no strangers to this event, and we always appreciate the opportunity to learn about new innovations across a variety of industries. If you'll be there too, let us know. We'd love to chat!

Want to be the first to hear about new roles @ E84? We're hiring for several positions (check them out now on our careers page!) and we're preparing to post more soon. We send emails to folks signed up for this list to share new jobs as they go live: element84.com/who-we-are/c...

New on the blog: strategies for organizations in the financial sector & other highly regulated industries thinking about risk associated with AI. Dana walks through how to integrate AI slowly and intentionally for maximum impact in risk-averse fields. Check it out: element84.com/machine-lear...

One #NationalAdaptationForum2026 takeaway: preparing & being proactive is easier & cheaper than responding once a crisis has occurred. Gaining insights from organizations directly interfacing w/ communities on the ground helps us build tools that solve real world problems.

Only a few days left before the AWRA 2026 #GeospatialWaterTechnologyConference, and we're all ready to go! If you'll also be in Niagara Falls, NY next week, be sure to say hi to Terence to learn about the latest at E84.

We're gearing up for a big week in Colorado at #GEOINT2026! At GEOINT this year we're excited to connect with partners, learn from others, and share more about our work with #KSAT. If you'll be there too, keep an eye out for our team -- they'd love to connect!

It's almost time for @fedgeoday.bsky.social! Jason Gilman will be presenting his lightning talk: Agentic Context Engineering with Large Federal Datasets and we're looking forward to connecting with folks across disciplines who are tackling similar problems in their work.

This week we attended our first #GoodTechSummit, and it was an awesome opportunity to connect with other mission-oriented organizations! 🌐🌟 During sessions we were excited to hear people looking to open source and data standards to solve complex challenges in their work.

Our latest blog details our work helping NASA build and scale a chat-based AI tool called ChatGSFC. In the blog, we discuss how ChatGSFC is made up of composable parts that function as building blocks for users to control and assemble to fit their needs. Full blog: element84.com/machine-lear...

It's Friday and our latest quarterly newsletter is out in the world!! 📬 We share more about: 🌎 Updates to our Queryable Earth demos 🔮 The future of agentic AI & the open source ecosystem 🗓️ Our Spring conference calendar! 🤝 Open roles on our team mailchi.mp/a0adddbe56e2...
