The BBC Shared Data Unit wanted to generate a map image for each authority in the UK showing the state of flood defences in that area — so they turned to the mapping tool QGIS’s built-in Python functionality.
In this session, you will learn how to generate and export dozens of maps in QGIS centred at different points, and how AI can help speed up the process.
To follow along, participants should have some basic knowledge of QGIS and be comfortable using Python or vibe coding.
After attending this session, participants should be able to understand how Python works in QGIS and use AI to help generate, understand, and adapt code. Participants should have QGIS and Python installed on the computer (qgis.org/download + python.org/downloads) and a free account with an AI tool such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude
