Cesium Defense and Intelligence Tech Series: Building with Open Standards and an Open Ecosystem

Wednesday, October 21, 2026 | 2 p.m. ET | Virtual

Quarterly training and technical exchange for US government employees

No sales, just knowledge: learn how to use Cesium and 3D Tiles across your training, planning, operations, and analysis to build scalable, interoperable solutions.

We’re reserving time for open technical discussion and want to hear about what you’re running into as you build. Send us questions ahead of time or ask during the session. Bring your edge cases and hard questions.

What you'll learn

This first session in our Cesium Defense and Intelligence Tech Series is a technical 101. In this foundational training, we'll cover:

Open Geospatial Consortium 3D Tiles community standard fundamentals,
streaming massive 3D geospatial data at scale,
core runtime architecture across open-source web and native platforms, and
government use cases.

Who should attend

This session is for developers and integrators tasked with getting 3D geospatial capability into mission-critical apps.

This webinar series is available to only US government employees; use your .gov or .mil email address when registering and attending.
