Level Up Your Geospatial Skills with Pre-Conference Workshops at DevCon
It's 40 days to the 2026 Cesium Developer Conference, and we’re getting ready to host developers, creators, and innovators from across the 3D geospatial ecosystem for learning, collaboration, and community, June 8-10 in Philadelphia. For attendees who want a day of dedicated, hands-on training to sharpen skills, we’re offering pre-conference workshops on Monday, June 8.

Because of the enthusiasm for the pre-conference workshops last year, we’ve increased seats this year—but slots are filling up.
Bring your laptop with the required software and hardware, which we’ll share soon. We look forward to learning with you.
