Tethys Summit 2025

July 14-15, 2025 | The Westshore Grand Tampa, Florida

Join us for the inaugural Tethys Summit, a focused two-day event bringing together researchers, educators, and technology specialists in the geospatial sciences. This forum is dedicated to sharing innovations and fostering collaboration centered around powerful tools for Earth science impact.

Discover how the Tethys Geoscience Foundation, through its open-source Tethys Platform, empowers geoscientists to transform complex data into accessible solutions for environmental challenges. Learn to leverage the Python-powered Software Development Kit (SDK), backed by Conda, and integrate familiar libraries like Plotly, Bokeh, Numpy, Pandas, and Dask.

Explore robust data integration capabilities connecting diverse sources such as THREDDS, GeoServer, PostgreSQL, CKAN, HydroShare, Google Earth Engine, and Microsoft’s AI for Earth. We’ll also delve into strategies for deploying scalable cloud analysis using Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure, or maximizing your own compute capacity with HTCondor and Dask.

This summit is your opportunity to connect with peers, learn advanced techniques, and contribute to solving critical environmental challenges through accessible geospatial web technology.

Event agenda, speakers, and sponsorship opportunities will be announced in the coming weeks. Please monitor this page and our social media channels for updates.

Join us in Tampa as we connect and advance the future of geospatial science!
