Can you find Rust on a Map?
November 03 2026 - 17:00 (45 min )

Have you ever wondered how your phone finds the nearest coffee shop, or how millions of GPS points get turned into a meaningful map?
Behind the scenes, it all comes down to geospatial data, and making sense of it requires efficient storage and analysis. In this talk, I'll walk you through the essentials of geospatial processing in Rust using a hands-on use case covering spatial indexing, geospatial operations, and data serialization. 
For each step, you'll see practical solutions, as well as a few alternatives and common pitfalls.
Whether you're new to geospatial or already familiar with the domain, you'll walk away with a solid understanding of what Rust's ecosystem has to offer and a few hard-earned lessons to save you some headaches. And yes, you'll also finally find out where Rust is on a map.
