The 10th Digital Earth Summit will take place from the 19th to the 22nd of November 2024 in Kigali, Rwanda. The International Society for Digital Earth (ISDE) is celebrating its 20th anniversary, and it’s a point of pride to host our summit in Africa. Our mission at ISDE is to promote academic exchange, scientific and technological innovation, education, and international collaboration, all in pursuit of advancing the Digital Earth vision. With 13 symposia and 9 summits organized worldwide thus far, this event marks the second time ISDE has convened in Africa, and the chosen theme, “Digital Intelligence to Sense our Planet and Sustain its Future,” is particularly pertinent to this region.
