about this room
Geovation's session on turning weather and predictive data into a commercial edge. It covers the main forecasting approaches (numerical weather prediction, ensembles, AI-based models) and the observation sources behind them: satellite, radar, drone and ground sensors. A practitioner panel then covers how they use them.
Speakers: Will Lang (Chief Meteorologist, Met Office), Dr Julie Villinger (Head of Meteorology, Meteomatics), Gerald van der Grijn (Senior Product Manager, Spire), Oliver Lee (Managing Director, MetSwift) and Rachael Elliott (Director, Disaster Recovery Institute International). Geovation Hub, 65 Goswell Road, EC1V 7EN. The Eventbrite page lists a 4:30pm start and a two-hour session.
a useful room for builders of climate-risk, insurance and logistics products, with a Met Office forecaster and three data vendors on one panel. Skip it if you want a pure founder crowd.
