Easily build, train, and deploy ML models using geospatial data
Today, the majority of all data generated contains geospatial information, but only a small fraction of it is used for ML because accessing, processing, and visualizing the data is complex, time consuming, and expensive. With Amazon SageMaker’s new geospatial capabilities, you can access readily available geospatial data sources, easily process large-scale geospatial datasets with purpose-built operations, accelerate model building with pretrained ML models, and use rich visualization tools to explore predictions on an interactive map. Join us for an interactive demo and learn how to make faster and smarter decisions using the power of geospatial data.

No-code ML for faster decision making
Organizations everywhere use ML to accurately predict outcomes and make faster business decisions. However, this often requires preparing, building, training, and deploying ML models. With Amazon SageMaker Canvas, non-technical business users can generate accurate ML predictions on their own without requiring any ML experience or writing a single line of code. In this session, you'll learn how you can use SageMaker Canvas to connect, prepare, analyze, and explore data, automatically build ML models, and collaborate with data scientists to increase productivity. You'll even learn how you can import ML models from anywhere and generate predictions directly in Amazon SageMaker Canvas.

Accelerate your ML journey with Amazon SageMaker low-code ML tools
The machine learning (ML) journey requires continuous experimentation and rapid prototyping to be successful. In order to create highly accurate models, data scientists have to first experiment with feature engineering, model selection, and optimization techniques, which can be time-consuming and expensive. In this session, learn how low-code ML tools, including Amazon SageMaker Data Wrangler, Amazon SageMaker Autopilot, and Amazon SageMaker JumpStart, make it easier to experiment faster and bring highly accurate models to production more quickly and efficiently.
