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 and contractors

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:

  • government use cases across the Cesium ecosystem,
  • streaming massive 3D geospatial data with OGC 3D Tiles,
  • a technical introduction to Cesium open-source products, and
  • tips and tricks for developing with CesiumJS.
