Oslandia took part (actively!) in the QGIS User Conference 2026, which was held in early October in Laax, Switzerland.

The teams led four workshops and talks on the first day:

  • Workshop: ‘QGIS Expressions: from labels to geometry generators’ (by Benoit de Mezzo)
  • Deploying QGIS in large-scale IT systems – best practices (by Vincent Picavet)
  • Mental health and open source: a sensitive topic for engineers (by Vincent Picavet)
  • From users to contributors: rethinking participation in QGIS (by Jean Felder)

The second day provided an opportunity to attend talks and forge links with the international community!
