On the agenda

  • Can I Get a Witness?

    Nov. 18 '26, 04:00pm Panel Press Hall

    From courtroom evidence to service delivery for conflict-affected communities, the full range of what satellite imagery can bear witness to. A single image can testify to an atrocity, a displacement, a community's existence and need for services when no one else is looking. Expect a candid look at what it actually takes for imagery to hold up as credible evidence once it leaves the analyst's screen.
