About This Workshop

This workshop will share presentations on emerging technologies by invited experts with opportunities for participants to explore how they can be applied operationally and information on best practices that have been shown to be operationally effective and efficient. The workshop will be coordinated by the SAV Mapping/Monitoring Community of Practice (CoP), and continue a long history of similar workshops at CERF. In addition to the information shared during the workshop, participants will be provided with online resources and encouraged to continue the discussion on the online collaboration Discourse forum.
