Optimizing Brand Territory Management for Enterprise Success
11:30 - 12:00
It is very common for beverage companies to manage many brands with each brand having different territories. Building and maintaining the territories and be a highly technical and time consuming task in part due to legal agreements. However, we live in a very dynamic environment with constant change. How can the details of territories be preserved while allowing the business to explore the effects of the everchanging business environment. We will show how one company has been able to explore the what ifs while not sacrificing the attention to detail needed to maintain the precision.

From Maps to Models: Bringing Geospatial Data into LLMs the Right Way
11:00-11:30
Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionizing AI-driven insights, but integrating geospatial data effectively remains a challenge. In this talk, we’ll break down how LLMs are structured, how they process information, and the types of text-based geospatial modeling that work best within these architectures. We’ll explore the role of vector databases for storing and retrieving spatial insights, and how cloud-native geospatial data formats ensure data remains current and accessible.
The discussion will center around a medallion-based architecture for structuring geospatial data, transforming raw spatial information into high-quality, queryable insights. We’ll dive into how modern data engineering workflows—leveraging Apache Iceberg tables—enable scalable, real-time updates for AI models. By the end of this session, you’ll understand how to build a cloud-native geospatial data pipeline that enhances LLMs, ensuring they can reason about location-aware data efficiently and accurately.
