Brandon is the founder and lead developer of the Protomaps project. For this talk he’ll focus on Places data: geographical datasets of places in the world like landmarks and storefronts. Access to good Places data is the foundation of location-based apps, recommender systems and photo tagging.
Recently, Meta and Microsoft have released a global dataset of 60 million places with an open source license. He will show how to analyze and visualize this dataset using the Protomaps tools, DuckDB and Supabase.
