Workshop: Cloud-native insurance risk concentration analysis with Wherobots and CARTO - October 16 from 11:35 AM - 12:35 PM, Jay Conference Bryant Park, Room A

The 2018 Camp Fire in Northern California left behind devastation in many forms: burned-out businesses, incinerated homes, charred cars. In total, the fire destroyed nearly 19,000 structures and claimed the lives of 85 people. The blaze also caused another casualty: A regional insurer was forced into liquidation in part because it had taken on too much risk in areas affected by the fire. Evolving natural disaster risk reveals a less obvious yet far-reaching consequence for insurers: Traditional methods of managing risk concentration can't keep up with a constantly changing risk landscape. This hands-on workshop will focus on using Apache Sedona and Wherobots Cloud for working with large-scale vector and raster data. We will explore insurance risk concentration analysis and identify methods for managing portfolio risk with increasingly common extreme weather events. Then, to wrap up, we will explore the Wherobots Spatial SQL API and connect to CARTO to extend Wherobots native data science capabilities with rich, planetary scale visualization and workflows.

Session: Unlocking Global Population Trends with GeoPostcodes & Wherobots - October 17 from 2:20PM - 2:30PM, Columbia University 

Learn how GeoPostcodes partnered with Wherobots to harness the power of Apache Sedona on Wherobots Cloud to better understand population data. Explore the innovative methods that made this possible, and see how this collaboration unlocked new possibilities - slashing processing time from weeks to just hours.

Stop by our table at the conference - October 17 all day, Columbia University
