10:30am-12:30pm: Breakout sessions (participants choose one)  Earth Engine API Speaker: David Thau Location: Beacon Rock The Earth Engine API (application programming interface) provides the ability to create your own algorithms to process raster and vector imagery. This session is geared toward developers who would like to analyze satellite and vector data, and possibly build their own applications which use Earth Engine. Prerequisites: You should have experience with at least one programming language, or at least not be afraid of learning as we go. Note: This session will be repeated on at 3:40pm. Field Mobile Data Collection + Open Data Kit Speaker: Brian Sullivan Location: Birch Bay Open Data Kit is a set of tools that allows you to collect field data, such as text, photos/videos, and GPS location from an Android device where there's no internet connection and then publish that data to the web when you're back online. Once you've gathered your field data, we will upload the data to cloud storage. Then you'll learn how to export your data into Google Earth for mapping and Google Fusion Tables for graphing, mapping and visualization. Prerequisites: None Note: This session will be repeated on at 1:30pm. Advanced Google Maps Engine Speaker: Karin Tuxen-Bettman Location: Daroga This session is geared towards GIS specialists who have a lot of GIS data in different formats, and would like to publish their data quickly and efficiently to Google Earth and Maps. We'll focus on ArcGIS integration, and cover some other tools, for converting GIS data to Google Maps Engine, Google Earth, and Google Maps. Prerequisites: You should feel comfortable with the basics of GIS, and have attended the morning Google Maps Engine session. Google Earth + Spreadsheet Mapping Speakers: Christiaan Adams Location: Dash Point This session is designed for participants who are new to Google Earth or want a review of the fundamentals. We'll also learn how to use the Spreadsheet Mapping, which uses Google Docs' spreadsheets to create beautiful balloon templates for your Google Earth layers. Prerequisites: None 12:30-1:30pm: Lunch Location: Outside Beacon Rock 1:30-3:30pm: Breakout sessions (participants choose one)  Using Earth Engine to Model Vulnerability to Natural Disaster Location: Birch Bay This session explores the capacity of Google Earth Engine through an applied question - how can increased computing power and cloud data better predict and analyze natural disasters in real time? Using census data, remote sensing imagery, and other raster data, participants in this session will create a socio-ecological vulnerability index for the day's predicted flood zones and wildfire risk area. Interested participants are welcome to bring their own vector (preferably census) and raster data. Prerequisites: Earth Engine API session Field Mobile Data Collection + Open Data Kit Speaker: Brian Sullivan Location: Beacon Rock Open Data Kit is a set of tools that allows you to collect field data, such as text, photos/videos, and GPS location from an Android device where there's no internet connection and then publish that data to the web when you're back online. Once you've gathered your field data, we will upload the data to cloud storage. Then you'll learn how to export your data into Google Earth for mapping and Google Fusion Tables for graphing, mapping and visualization. Prerequisites: None Note: This session is a repeat of the session at 10:30am. Publishing Your Maps & Data Speaker: Wei Luo & Christiaan Adams Location: Daroga This session will take a deep dive into data and maps publication. In the first part, you'll learn about different ways to publish your Google Maps Engine maps and data. In the second part, you'll learn how to use Google Crisis Map viewer to create, publish, and share maps by combining layers from anywhere on the web. Supported layer formats include KML, GeoRSS, WMS, Tile URLs, Google Maps Engine, and Fusion Tables. Prerequisites: None Intro to KML Coding Speaker: Sean Askay Location: Dash Point This session is for those who are new to KML. We will look through the basic structure of KML, how to code common features such as points, lines, polygons and overlays, and a few more advanced features such as time. We will provide tips for writing KML by hand and testing KML in Google Earth and Google Maps. Prerequisities: For this session, you will be expected to have some familiarity with Google Earth, including creation of your own data points or layers using the tools built into Google Earth. A little experience with XML or HTML will be helpful, but is not strictly required. Break 3:45-5:45pm: Breakout sessions (participants choose one)  Earth Engine API Speaker: David Thau Location: Beacon Rock The Earth Engine API (application programming interface) provides the ability to create your own algorithms to process raster and vector imagery. This session is geared toward developers who would like to analyze satellite and vector data, and possibly build their own applications which use Earth Engine. Prerequisites: You should have experience with at least one programming language, or at least not be afraid of learning as we go. Note: This session is a repeat of the session at 10:30am. Timelapse Tours Speaker: Randy Sargent Location: Birch Bay Timelapse Earth builds on Earth Engine to show three decades of planetary change, both man-made and natural. In this session, you'll see hotspots of Earth change, learn how to embed Timelapse Earth into HTML materials, and also learn how to author guided tours to highlight particular phenomena on the animated planet. Prerequisites: None Google Maps API Speaker: Josh Livni Location: Daroga A little bit of customization can go a long way with the Google Maps API's. This session will introduce you to some of the visualizations that are possible with the Google Maps API, and how to interact with data and maps that are available in Google Maps Engine. Prerequisites: Some Javascript knowledge is recommended. Alternatively, bring a willingness to learn somethign new. 5:45pm: Shuttle transfer to Alza Complex 6:00-6:45pm: Google Tour 6:45pm - 8:00pm: Dinner at Charlie's Cafe 8pm: Shuttle transfer from Charlie’s Cafe to Hotel Aria Wednesday, July 247:45am: Shuttle transfer from The Hotel Aria to Google8-9am: Breakfast Location: Beacon Rock 9-10am: Coming Soon: the Future of Geo (tentative) 10am-2pm: Unconference Sessions This part of the agenda will take on an "unconference" style, where participants (you!) can suggest a session -- either a round table discussion to discuss a topic, a publication or a white paper; or a hands-on session that you (or someone else) may present. As you can see below, we have seeded the matrix with 7 topics, and there are 8 open slots. All participants will vote on all the topics, and the ones that get the most votes will be the ones taught. We will explain more at the Summit, with specific instructions.  2:00-3:30pm: Googler Office Hours Googlers who work on Google mapping tools will be available for 1:1 questions and support. Office hours available will likely include the following areas of expertise. Location: various
